Text file in Win 10 'cannot run in DOS mode"

Still having issue with Win 10 Notepad text file. Other notepad text files open correctly but my most used text file opens  but in the first line (after some Symbols are displayed) states - º ´ Í!¸
LÍ!This program cannot be run in DOS mode. An earlier response suggested I run "sfc /scannow and DISM .  I did both to no avail. Looking for more assistance.  Thanks var appInsights = window.appInsights || function (config) { function s(config) { t[config] = function () { var i = arguments; t.queue.push(function () { t[config].apply(t, i) }) } } var t = { config: config }, r = document, f = window, e = "script", o = r.createElement(e), i, u; for (o.src = config.url || "//az416426.vo.msecnd.net/scripts/a/ai.0.js", r.getElementsByTagName(e)[0].parentNode.appendChild(o), t.cookie = r.cookie, t.queue = [], i = ["Event", "Exception", "Metric", "PageView", "Trace"]; i.length;) s("track" + i.pop()); return config.disableExceptionTracking || (i = "onerror", s("_" + i), u = f[i], f[i] = function (config, r, f, e, o) { var s = u && u(config, r, f, e, o); return s !== !0 && t["_" + i](config, r, f, e, o), s }), t }({ instrumentationKey: "e81bf793-29bc-485d-a806-1eb414b65249" }); window.appInsights = appInsights; appInsights.trackPageView(); By using this site you agree to the use of cookies for analytics, personalized content and ads.

System file check works on Vista and UP Dism works on win 7 and UP If you are running an insider build (ie 14915) and SFC fails ~20% it is a known problem with this build If you are running sfc &/or DISM to fix an underlying problem please tell us what that problem is!!!! Details If you have modified your system files (including Windows DLL files) running sfc /scannow will revert the system files back to the default state. It is always a good idea to back up your data beforehand! To run a system file check (SFC) Go to start>Type CMD Right click and run as Administrator (called an elevated command prompt) If you want to verify and repair the OS type sfc /scannow (note the space between sfc and "/") If you just want to check (verify only) the OS type sfc /verifyonly (no changes will be made using verify only)  You may have to run this up to 3 times to fix all the problems When you have finished it will say one of three things Windows did not find any integrity violations (a good thing) Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired them (a good thing) Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)  If you get this message run DISM as described below If SFC was not able to repair some or all of the files there are a few options including a repair install from the OS dvd, and DISM (win 8 & UP) If SFC did not find any violations it is still a good idea to run DISM Restorehealth DISM If you are on win 8 (and up) you  should also run DISM whether SFC found errors or not!! From an elevated command prompt  You can run Check, then Scan, but you should always run RESTORE HEALTH To check the health (You would use /CheckHealth to only check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted) run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth To scan the health use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption. This option does not fix any corruption. run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth To RESTORE health (recommended) Use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, perform repair operations automatically, and records that corruption to the log file.  This generally takes 15-30 minutes depending on the corruption and size of the partition You can run scanhealth & restore health at the same time like this DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth && DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth . (please note the space after "dism", & "online" & "image")If the repair is successful you may want to re-run SFC just to check. After running DISM it is a good idea to re-run SFC /scannow to make sure all the issues were fixed. If you get the error message "cannot find source files"you need to have an ISO file mounted and need to specify where it is located with the below command The ISO must be exactly the same version as the running OS.  An ISO of 10586.0 will not repair a running system of 10586.35 because it has additional updates and files. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess  Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located.  Simply change the "X" to the correct drive letter If you do not have an ISO you can make one.  The instructions are here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ht/sfc-scannow.htm If this wiki has proved helpful please click me too at the bottom of the wiki.
