Run System File Checker in safe mode, boot time or offline under Windows 10/8/7

In this post, we will see how to run System File Checker in Safe Mode, Offline or Boot Time in Windows 10/8.1. This is useful when SFC does not work or starts.

One of the useful tools that Microsoft has introduced into Windows is the ability to run the System File Checker to check the stability of basic system files.

Windows does not allow you to print more than 15 files

In Windows 10/8/7, if you print more than 15 files at a time, you will notice that you cannot print more than 15 files at a time. Basically Windows is configured to open, edit and print a maximum of 15 files by default. So if you try to exceed this limit, Windows will stop you. Obviously, the limitation is that the operation, which is performed on more than 15 selections, draws too much power from the system, which could affect the stability of the system.

However, if you have a qualified processor with a high configuration on which you have full confidence that it can perform the same operation after exceeding the limited limit, you can run Windows the same operation with more than 15 selections. You can use the same trick we use to solve the problem when context menu items are missing or shortened when more than 15 files are selected. read more
