DISM vs SFC first? What should I run first on Windows 10?

Should I run SFC or DISM first to repair file or system image corruptions on my Windows 10 computer? Most websites suggest you running one or both of these tools. When should you run each or both? This post tries to explain.

The System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection, which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files. If any changes are detected to a protected system file, the modified file is restored from a cached copy located in the Windows folder itself.

You can use the DISM Tool or Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management to update the files and correct the problem, if your System File Checker is not working, to fix Windows component store corruption or if a Windows image becomes unserviceable.

Gaining More Followers in twitter

One of the easiest ways is to follow industry leaders. We’re talking about

influential people like Jeff Bullas, if you’re using Twitter for a marketing

purpose. More importantly, you want to follow people with similar interests. For

example, if you’re in the music industry, you not only want to follow musicians,

but also producers, DJs, etc. These people already have established connections.

So, you want to take a look at who they are following and follow the same

people, while also creating a conversation with them.

Embed Tweets

Gone are the days of taking a screenshot of a tweet that you want to share on

your blog or website. Save time by easily embedding tweets.

How To Do It:

Select the tweet that you want to share. On the bottom right side of the tweet,

next to ‘Favorite’, you should notice the ‘More’ option. Drop that down and you’ll

see the ‘Embed Tweet’. Click that option and a new screen will appear with a

code that you’ll copy and paste onto your site or blog.

Schedule Tweets

In case you weren’t aware, the best time to tweet is Monday through Thursday

between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for most content. So, if you have an interesting piece

of information to share on a Sunday night, it might be better to wait into the

morning. But, what if you forget to send out that juicy tweet? How about

scheduling it?

How To Do It:

While marketers can already do this, you might have to download a program

like TweetDeck, Buffer, LaterBro or Future Tweets to schedule tweets.

Add Multiple Accounts With One Email Address in twitter

If you have a Gmail account, you’re in luck. Gmail has a cool feature which

allows you to alter you address just by adding a dot anywhere in your username.
For example, johnsmith@gmail.com could be john.smith@gmail.com or

j.ohnsmith@gmail.com. The cool part is that all your messages will be sent to

you arrive in your mailbox. Why? Because Google ignores the period. Twitter,

however, doesn’t. To Twitter, this is a completely different address.

Another way to use on email account for different Twitter handles would be by

having the typical @gmail for one account and @googlemail.com for the second.

You could probably do this with alias and domains as well. Or, just forward

everything to Gmail.

Deleting Location in twitter

Go into Settings, then Security. You’ll see a Delete All Location button. This will

remove the location from all of your current and previous tweets.
