How to use FixWin 10
1. We first suggest that you run the System File Checker. The button provided on the Welcome page, will ‘run sfc /scannow‘ and will check for and replace any corrupted Windows system files. It is expected to take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. If asked to, reboot your computer.
2. If you are facing problems relating to the Windows Store or the Store apps, re-register the Store apps. A 1-click button has been provided on the Welcome page that lets you do so easily.
3. If you are facing major issues with Windows 10, running the DISM utility to repair your Windows System Image, might be a real good idea. A button for this too has been conviniently placed on the Welcome page.
4. Next we insist that you create a System Restore Point. The provided button will create one. We always recommend that you create one before making any changes to your system. Should you wish or need too, you can always go back to this Restore Point.
5. Having done that, apply at most one fix at a time and restart your computer. Please check if things are to your satisfaction; and if not, you have the option of restoring back immediately.
6. If you want to know first, what each fix does, click on the ‘?‘ Help button next to the Fix button. A pop out will tell you what exactly the fix does. Double-clicking on it will copy the command to your clipboard, which will be helpful I you want to run the fixes manually.
7. Some problems cannot be fixed with a click. So if you do not find your fix here, click on the Search For More Fixes button on FixWin’s Welcome page, and search and see if you find what you want.
Some security software may give out false positives, but rest assured that it is clean. If you wish to give feedback, suggestions or request some help, you can visit The Windows Club Forums.
FixWin 10 for Windows 10, has been developed Paras Sidhu, for The Windows Club. It has been tested on Windows 10, 32-bit and 64-bit versions. FixWin may however fail to run if you have modified Windows Image using third party tools, as it may miss some core components required for FixWin to run and thus be the cause of failure.
Why FixWin 10? Why the sudden jump from FixWin 2.2 to FixWin 10? Well if we can have Windows jumping from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, we thought we might as well follow the trend here. No other reason. 
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 users should continue to use FixWin 2.2. Windows 7 and Windows Vista users should use FixWin v1.2.
