It blows my mind that system file checker isn’t just a scheduled task that works during idle time. Same with DISM.

You can easily schedule it yourself but I wouldn't. I have used sfc /scannow about 10 times. It did fix an issue once - a VM repeatedly locking up doing Windows updates.

Yeah even as a technician that's one I run on the off chance that it actually does something.

Which, sometimes it does, just often enough that I wouldn't call it useless.
