  3. Click the Click to Upgrade button. Select the Force option if you want to reinstall WHM/cPanel.

     

    Forced Reinstall
    This feature allows you to force a reinstall of the cPanel & WHM software, regardless of whether WHM detects that your system is up-to-date. This can be useful if any files are corrupt and you wish to reinstall them.
