System File Checker Corruption


Hi All

Discovered system file checker after removing Avast, offline repair so far not working the way I want it to, My drives are configured boot ssd, D for storage, yet the list in Command prompt on startup up shows X:\Windows, well tried C, D, X and still wouldn't run

Already done 3 Clean installs of 1803, just want this solved, might try another online scan of sfc, and see if it can repair that way

Waits for anymore advice

Online scan only gets to 2 percent then stops

Stated could not complete requested operation when I finally got offline system file checker to run

System File Checker

To make a long story short, when I contacted Microsoft a few days ago about a problem I’ve been having, one of the possible solutions they gave me was to use the System File Checker tool. When I asked Microsoft’s Virtual Agent about it, she came
back with “…To run it:

• Select Start Windows logo Start button, and in the search box, enter
  Command Prompt. Press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the search results and select
  Run as administrator.
• Enter DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the spaces before each "/").
• Enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").”

After the steps, she provided a link to learn more about the tool (System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot).
However, that did not help me much.

Regarding steps 2 and 3, do I have to press “enter” after “…Restorehealth,” or do I type “…Restorehealth sfc /scannow” AND THEN press “enter?”
