    Delete or moving files has a delay. Win 10


    Over last few weeks I have been noticing that when I go to delete a file or move it another folder it will actually take around 5-10 seconds to actually execute. I dont mean slow transfer but its like the process hangs for a bit. Weird thing is that it doesn't do it every single time, and hard to predict it. Everything else on my pc is working normally. My C: is a Crucial SSD

    I have run disk check and disk clean and completes with no problem.

    I tried running sfc /scannow both in safe mode and normal boot however it comes back with the following message. "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. For
    example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
    supported in offline servicing scenarios."

    Ok, so I start digging into google trying to figure this out as im not sure what im looking at in the logs and I come across a few other commands to try

    Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth - the message I received "The component store is repairable.
    The operation completed successfully."

    Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth - Error: 0x800f081f

    The source files could not be found.
    Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    Im not really sure what to try at this point.

    :)

    Delay with deleting/moving files

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and frustration you have been through. I will be glad to assist you.

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have performed to try to resolve the issue.

    1. What is the file size that you are trying to delete or move?

    This could happen if the file size is more and your system is running multiple background application. Also may be if the computer have virus and malware.

    I suggest you to follow the Methods below and check.

    Method 1: Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter

    Please follow the steps to run System Maintenance troubleshooter on the computer:

    • Type “Control Panel” on the search box.

    • Click on Troubleshooting.

    • Click on View all option on the left side of the Windows.

    • Click on System Maintenance option.

    • Click on Next and follow the onscreen instructions to troubleshoot the issue.

    • Check if it has improved the performance.

    Method 2: Run the Microsoft safety scanner and check if your computer is infected by malware.

    The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

    Safety Scanner - Windows Defender Security Intelligence

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Disclaimer: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks

    It's 2017 and this problem doesn't seem to have been addressed. I
    m experiencing it, too.

    Neither Sfc nor Dism are "Magic bullet" and can't repair everything. Many parts of windows are shared with programs (.DLLs, .INI, Registry entries etc.) and misbehaving programs and malware may do irreparable damage. Disk corruption is not only cause. If they don't succeed there are other measures, System restore or repair from USB/disk windows installation. There's also clean install as last option.
    Still nothing beats full (and often) system backup no matter which OS. At one time or other, I used probably every OS out there and never seen one that is immune to corruption and errors.
    Try following this tutorial for using DISM https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...age.html?ltr=D there's more ways to do it.
