Windows 10: SFC/SCANNOW cannot start the repair action

In the post Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14291 for PC and Mobile there is some code to address this issue. I ran the script, but get an error "file wrpint.dll not found". I searched and found it in windows/WinSxS/......... It is found in many subfolders. The lowest subfolder in the set root command does not match the subfolders in windows/WinSxS.

I have tried a number of solutions to get SFC/scannow to work with no success.

Please advise.

Cannot repair sfc /scannow

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are
facing issues with windows 10.

I do appreciate your efforts and time. Do not worry, will assist you with the issue.

To resolve this problem, use the inbox Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. Then, install the Windows update or service pack again.

• Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search. Type Command
  Prompt in the Search box, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
• Type the following command, and then press Enter.
  
  It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Important When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a running
Windows installation as the repair source, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

NoteReplace the
C:\RepairSource\Windows placeholder with the location of your repair source. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, reference
Repair a Windows Image.

• Close the command prompt, and then run
  Windows Update again.

DISM creates a log file (%windir%/Logs/CBS/CBS.log) that captures any issues that the tool found or fixed. %windir% is the folder in which Windows is installed. For example, the %windir% folder is C:\Windows.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you

 

Cannot repair sfc /scannow

I am unable to repair a certain file no matter how many times I run the SFC /SCANNOW or DISM commands in cmd.

I have clean install the machine several times too.

I would like to know if the following files will affect my system if not repaired or I can safely ignore it.

2015-08-22 00:32:21, Info CSI 00004b64 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:16{8}]"Kds.psd1" of Microsoft.KeyDistributionService.Cmdlets, Version = 10.0.10240.16384, pA = amd64, nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {xxx} in the store, hash mismatch

 

It looks like the problem with SFC may be very simple: incorrect syntax. The command should be SFC /Scannow. Notice the blank before the "/".

 

Thanks for the catch on the syntax, but I corrected that this morning and still get the error 'could not start the repair service.

 

try running from Command Prompt(admin)

 

I hope this tutorial will help:

SFC Command - Run in Windows 10



Note If SFC could not fix something, then run the command again to see if it may be able to the next time. Sometimes it may take running the sfc /scannow command up to 3 times with restarting the computer after each time to completely fix everything that it's able to.

If not, then run the Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command to repair any component store corruption, restart the PC afterwards, and try the sfc /scannow command again.

 

If you try to run it in a command window without admin rights you get the following response:

"You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility"

 

The problem I am trying to solve is when I plug a USB hard drive into the laptop, it is not getting a drive letter associated with it. Thus application programs cannot see it. If I manually assign a drive letter then the application programs can see it. I have go so far as to run the 'Repair Install of Windows 10 with an in-place Upgrade'. That still did not solve the problem. Any additional ideas?
