Windows 10: Run SFC Command in Windows 10

That's the whole point I can't run SFC...

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

I might just do a clean install, my only question is activation, I think from what I've read as I've done in an place upgrade and it detected windows 8.1 when I rebuild it the activation will just work and I won't need to type any product codes in etc? I've already downloaded the .iso file from M$.

 

Yes, that's correct.

Since you locked in your free Windows 10 by upgrading from an activated Windows 8.1, you will be able to clean install Windows 10 on the PC and have it activated. Be sure to click on "Skip" when asked for a product key.

Hi Brink,
Hope you're well, I am in a bit of a predicament here and have followed all you have said but to no resolve. I have contacted Microsoft's live support, but was told if my operating system is functioning fine to just ignore it. I was hoping you could offer me some assistance on this please?

Hello Leon, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Your SFC details show that the file below was found to have a hash mismatch and considered corrupted. The source file in the component store was also found to be corrupted, and was why SFC couldn't replace the file from the Store to repair it.

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Kds\Kds.psd1

If you haven't already, go through the troubleshooting steps in the blue note box at the bottom of OPTION THREE to see if it may allow SFC to repair the file afterwards.

If you did that already, then try the DISM commands in step 6 or 7 in OPTION ONE below to see if it may help using a Windows 10 ISO as the source instead.

Hi and thank you, I'm working on it now and I see kds notepad in that file location is completely blank. I will get back to you when I go through these steps provided or when I am stuck. I greatly appreciate your help and can't thank you enough for your time.


So same results as last night I'm afraid

I seem to be having trouble using the iso as a source, I am clearly doing it wrong. Should I have it mounted o no and how do I correctly aim it towards the iso?

Sadly my earliest restore point has this error also.

 

PS C:\Windows\system32> Repair-WindowsImage -Online -CheckHealth

I tried power shell also

I can't seem to be able to target the iso as a source I seem to be doing something wrong as it can never find it

Clearly I'm doing something wrong "E" is iso mounted,embarassing I know but I'm really stuck on this step

Are you using a mounted ISO file as the source?

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

OR

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess

 

A mounted iso yes, downloaded from Microsoft, I just right click it and select mount. Should I perhaps try to make a usb key instead and try?

Originally I installed an app from the app store and uninstalled it via start right click uninstall.I decided later to try the app again so installed it again but the shortcut to it was not in the start menu anymore so I went through system scrolled installed apps and uninstalled from there.I then ran sfc/scan now to ensure there were no issues.I don't know if that possible has any relation to the above issue or not?

 

Nar, it should be an ISO.

Did you try both commands with substituting E for the drive letter of the mounted ISO?

 

Yes I tried both, can you tell me what that is exactly and if it will cause me problems down the road. Is it possible to repair using an installation usb without losing settings and apps etc?
