  SFC stands for system file checker.

  You can follow the below link

  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/bb491008.aspx

  Also if outlook is installed as your email client test the configuration of the email client.

  As a shortcut, you can press and hold the cntrl key, go to the system tray where the icon of your email client resides, right click on it and click on  Test-EmailAutoConfiguration

  You can check you gateway & DNS once too.

  A lot of things might just have gone wrong.

  My emails aren't going now I have upgraded but I don't know how to run the suggested fix. Is there a step by step set of instructions to follow?

  Open cmd.exe and run the below commands:

  sfc //VERIFYONLY

  If it detects issues then run:

  sfc /SCANNOW

  But to just ask, this may not be the issue with your emails… What issue do you have that needed this suggestion?

  Hello,
  
  The TechNet Wiki Discussion Forum is a place for the TechNet Wiki Community to engage, question, organize, debate, help, influence and foster the TechNet Wiki content, platform and Community.

  Please note that this forum exists to discuss TechNet Wiki as a technology/application.

  As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Where is the forum for... forum.

  Hello,

  I'd ask in the Windows forum on Microsoft Community.

  As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

  Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'
