Windows 10: sfc scan fixes errors - or not?

windows 10 pro 19041.329 version 2004


windows started acting wonky on me necessitating a cold reset of the system, whether this was due to windows being windows, or due to system corruption, i wasn't sure. so i ran SFC /scannow to check my files, and each time i ran it, it said files were repaired. curious as too which files were fixed or not, in this case? I checked out the cbs.log. every run of listed two files as having a hash mismatch, which it proceeded to fix, but the files in the store, apparently either contained the same issue or sfc was generating a false alarm. the files were 'c:\windows\syswow64\srmclient.dll' and 'c:\windows\syswow64\srmscan.dll'. I don't have any information on these files, and trying to google them returned so much garbage search results I gave up almost immediately.


does anyone here have any info on those two files or why they are listed as having an issue SFC?

I am more than capable of performing a repair install *if* necessary, but if this is just a false alarm or something, I would like to know.

Cannot fix SFC error.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community. I will certainly assist you with the issue.

Have you logged into Microsoft account?

As you have mentioned, after running SFC scan ,you are getting the error "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and was unable to fix them".



I would like to inform you that, DISM tool fixes the error caused by the SFC scan. Follow the steps provided in the article to
run DISM Check and then Scan and check if it fixes the issue.

SFC scan and DISM restorehealth scan

1. After the sfc scan, restart

2. Run the restorehealth scan and restart after the scan is finished

3. Run the sfc scan again and it will say: no integrated violations found

Does those steps fix the Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them?
