Please help me to replace corrupt files found by Windows Resource Protection (sfc /scannow)

Hi Andyman,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

I understand that after performing SFC scan, some files are corrupted and
Windows Resource Protection could not repair those files.

System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption. The sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect,
corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

I suggest you to refer the below link on how to perform System File Checker and check if it helps.

If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log
%WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”,
under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)”
to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan in the below article.
