NEVER run a command you don't know the purpose of. That being said, "sfc" stands for "System File Checker." It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files. sfc /scannow checks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it's entirely.

In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.

Well, I try to understand why something is included. I've run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won't say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.

It's the same for me but I didn't always know that much about linux.
