How do I run a console session in Windows 10?

Click the Start button and in the search bar, type cmd. Right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator. Click Yes on the User Account Control (UAC) prompt that appears, and once the blinking cursor appears, type: SFC /scannow and press the Enter key.

How do you bring up the console window?

The Windows Console is available from the Start Button on the Taskbar; it is called ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘MSDOS Prompt’ depending on the OS; the almost undecipherable icon actually contains the letters of “MSDOS”. Click on the menu, and a Console window will appear.
