==Overview==
Microsoft ships this utility with [[Windows 98]], [[Windows 2000]] and all subsequent versions of the [[Windows NT]] family of operating systems. In [[Windows Vista]], [[Windows 7]] and [[Windows 10]], [https://windowsclassroom.com/system-file-checker/ System File Checker] is integrated with [[Windows Resource Protection]] (WRP), which protects [[Windows Registry|registry]] keys and folders as well as critical system files. Under Windows Vista, <code>sfc.exe</code> can be used to check specific folder paths, including the Windows folder and the boot folder.
 
[[Windows File Protection]] (WFP) works by registering for notification of file changes in [[Winlogon]]. If any changes are detected to a protected system file, the modified file is restored from a cached copy located in a compressed folder at <code>%WinDir%\System32\dllcache</code>. [[Windows Resource Protection]] works by setting discretionary access-control lists (DACLs) and [[access control list]]s (ACLs) defined for protected resources. Permission for full access to modify WRP-protected resources is restricted to the processes using the ''Windows Modules Installer service'' (<code>TrustedInstaller.exe</code>). Administrators no longer have full rights to system files.
