    Running sfc /scannow shows that there are errors


    Things are not going well for me. Multiple system issues are being reported in the Reliability Monitor although these are not obvious while using the OS.

    One of the things I have now tried is sfc /scannow from a command prompt in both normal and safe modes. It reports some errors. I'm reviewed the CBS log it writes to (I have not included the entire log, as it is 11MB) and I see countless entries along the lines of the ones below:

    Any ideas? Or must I toss my EVO840 SSD which is not that old. I also ran chkdsk in safe mode and there were no errors reported on that.

    :)

    Problem running "sfc /scannow" Error :There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Restart windows and run sfc again

    I neglected to mention I have Windows 10 OS. In trying to follow your instructions I can't even execute Step 1. My system simply shuts down completely. I'm not the brightest bulb, so please bear with me. Look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I suggest you to run Windows Update Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with
    Windows Update. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your
    Windows Update. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.

    • Change the view by option
      on the top right to Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run Windows Update troubleshooter and
      BITS troubleshooter.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Running sfc /scannow shows that there are errors

    Hi Gregh,

    Please upload the log file using a 3rd party uploader.
     
  5. GregH Win User
    Hi, can you advise on what 3rd party uploaded options I can use? I only
    know of Photobucket and maybe Dropbox?

    Dropbox, onedrive, mediafire.
    There are lots of them.

    Open admin command prompt type the line below
    Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Done. Make sure you connected to the internet when you do this command.

    Running sfc /scannow shows that there are errors

    The SFC log is very cryptic and there's a lot of data to wade through. I would recommend that you download SFCFIX.EXE from http://thetechcookbook.com/automatic...ir-sfcfix-exe/ and run it. I've used SFCFIX before when I had some SCANNOW errors and it sifted thru the cryptic details and simply applied the fix for me. Hope this helps you.

    OK, I have uploaded my CBS log, link is below in this post (Dropbox). File is 9MB. Hopefully you clever guys (and girls) can make head or tail of what is going on here. Gibberish to me but what I do notice is this:
    1. There are no specific reports of 'corrupt' files
    2. There are multiple reports of ownership - either directory is not owned or duplicate ownership.
    3. As per advice of moondoggy, I ran SFCFIX.EXE. It found no errors at all.

    This log was run immediately after a CLEAN install from a USB ISO on the UEFI Bios. No apps or antivirus etc installed. Further, the OS was installed to a brand new, out of the box SSD (Samsung EVO850 500GB) using the installation guide in these forums.

    Is it possible that these errors would be eradicated if I installed Windows from a DVD (would require me purchasing it with the additional license :-(

    Really appreciate the help - this is driving me nuts! I never had any of these issues under Win 7.

    It seems there is 1 file causing troubles.
    Please try the following:Open an admin command prompt
    Copy/paste sfc/scannow
    Reboot
    Open an admin command prompt
    Enter sfc/scannow againSee if the message from sfc is "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation"
    If the message is different, try sfc, reboot, sfc, a few times.

    After you have tried this a couple of times and the message is still not "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation", copy/paste the following command "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"


    Running sfc /scannow shows that there are errors [​IMG]
    Note If SFC (system file check) has found a/some violation(s) you need to reboot in order for SFC to try to fix the problems.
    If SFC can't fix the problems after a couple of tries, then you can try the dism commands, earlier is not necessary

    Thanks axe0,

    I am at work now but as soon as I get home, will try this and report back. *Thumbs

    Just to confirm though - do I include the copy/paste part or just type scf /scannow ?

    I tried what has been suggested above but no joy.....Well, the issue is sorted out now. I shelled out for a DVD copy of Windows 10 Pro. Installed it and no more issues when running sfc /scannow. I downloaded the USB ISO twice and got the error so I recon the USB ISO files as delivered from MS are simply not 100% compatible with my system. For whatever reason, a DVD install sorted it. Thanks for the help though, really appreciate it.
