Windows 10: Corrupt files (Windows accessory .lnk files)

When I run sfc /scannow, these are the problems that can't be fixed:

2016-04-17 17:10:09, Info CSI 000051b1 [SR] Repair complete


Trying to run the DISM command gives me an error that says the source file can't be located. At one point, I had the snipping tool pinned to my taskbar and had a keyboard shortcut/hotkey set to open it, so I'm sure this is somehow related to that. I don't suppose it's causing a major problem, but it annoys me that I can't run these utilities so I would like to fix this. I don't want to have to refresh my PC and re-download every 3rd party app over again, though, because I think that's more time and energy than it's worth. I've removed the keyboard shortcut command, removed the icon from my taskbar and start menu, and the only instance of the .exe file that I'm aware of is
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-snippingtool-app_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.0_none_26499a8833fa2713
I used this to make a shortcut and put in the Programs\Accessories folder since it wasn't there anymore and since I got the error above saying so, but I restarted and ran SFC again and it didn't fix the problem. I also rebuilt the icon cache and that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

How to solve these three issues from SFC.

WARNING: Failed to get store name from identity name with return code 2 for component Microsoft-Windows-iSCSI_Initiator_UI and file iSCSI Initiator.lnk. File is reported as corrupt by SFC.

CORRUPT: iSCSI Initiator.lnk of component Microsoft-Windows-iSCSI_Initiator_UI.

WARNING: Failed to get store name from identity name with return code 2 for component Microsoft-Windows-Microsoft-Data-Access-Components-(MDAC)-ODBC-Administrator and file ODBC Data Sources (64-bit).lnk. File is reported as corrupt by SFC.

CORRUPT: ODBC Data Sources (64-bit).lnk of component Microsoft-Windows-Microsoft-Data-Access-Components-(MDAC)-ODBC-Administrator.

pls note all DISM tools were run and they say no corruptions ! only SFC gives this...

 

corrupt administrative tools lnk's

The other day I started having problems with my WLAN printer being always offline. Looked at the services and found the printer services were stopped. I ran sfc /scannow and found that some malware had corrupted the lnk files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools and Accessories.

When I looked for these two directories using the Control Panel, I found two different directories: Windows Administrative Tools and Windows Accessories. Used the command prompt to find the the first directories I mentioned. Went to another computer, found
the files, and copied them to the the directories. Restarted my computer and found that my printer was still offline. Ran sfc and found the same corrupt files. I am at lose to figure out what else I can do to fix the problem. Any ideas?

Hi, I'd suggest an in-place upgrade repair install. I've done this 3 times, and it's one of the better facilities of Win 10.

Precede it with this in case sthg has happened to your file system:

Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)
chkdsk C: /F
Make sure the result is clear or fixed.

An In-place upgrade repair install will fix many things, but not those where the settings are not changed by the procedure.

For this you need an installation medium with the same base build as you have installed.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

This will refresh Windows, after the manner of a Windows installation.
- all/most associations will be unchanged
- all your programs will be left installed
- you will lose any custom fonts
- you will lose any customised system icons
- you may need to re-establish your Wi-Fi connection
- you will need to redo Windows updates subsequent to the build you have used for the repair install
- Windows.old will be created
- system restore will be turned off- you should turn it on again and I recommend you manually schedule a daily restore point.
- you will need to redo any language downloads including the display language if you changed that)

This is one of the better features of Win10: as each major build comes out, that's your updated reference build, and as updates are mostly cumulative, there will be few to do.

Recommendation:
Before you perform this major repair procedure, do create a disk image.

Please consider using disk imaging regularly. It's a brilliant way to
- preserve your system (and your sanity)
- back up your data
- restore your system to a previously working state in a relatively short time

Recommended: Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper (free) + their boot disk/device + large enough external storage medium.

 

I am chasing a similar error. What I have determined is that SFC is looking for C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Window\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories when in Windows 10 it has been renamed to C: \ProgramData\Microsoft\Window\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Accessories. I checked and this is the case in both my 10 Pro x64 systems.
What do I have to do to fix this?
