Windows 10: sfc /scannow: Can't fix corrupt files with a Repair Install

I have Windows 10 installed on top of Windows 7. When I ran sfc /scannow, I expected to be able to replace the corrupt files with good ones. However, I just did a Repair Install and I still get a message that I have corrupt files and Windows can't fix them. Any other possible solutions out there?

sfc/scannow shows corrupted files that can't be fixed

There was a problem with that site so I have hosted file here

cbs.txt.txt

 

sfc /scannow found corrupt files but cannot repair some of them/1709 build

Hi

I had a hard time reading the CBS log and had no clues as to what are the corruptions. I found many errors stating duplicates. How can I send the cbs log file so that you can check on your end? I need your help.

 

Do you have any restore points ?

 

I have had the corrupt system file message for many months - so I don't have a recent System Restore. I'm not familiare with DISM. Is using it a way to repair my System files. If so, is there a tutorial on how to do it. Thank you.

The link I posted is to a tutorial on this site.

 

What is "Inbox Corruption Repair" and "Component Store Corruption."? I saw the tutorial you sent me. That will restore my System Files?

 

Thank you so much!! You wouldn't believe how grateful I am that you pointed me to the Dism command. For the first time in two years (maybe more), my system files are intact. The first thing I'm going to do now is to make three images of my hard drive. Thanks so much again!!!

 

Glad to hear the suggestion helped & you got it sorted *Smile

 

Hi guys

I'm having the same issues and followed Easy Tech Guides website but it didn't fix the error.
Is there anymore I can do? Can it be left or does it require fixing?

 

If it didn't fix it, you have to dig into the CBS.log file (by default, it resides in %windir%\logs\CBS, where %windir% is the home Windows directory, usually C:\Windows) and see what kinds of errors it's reporting. If you want to post that file here as an attachment to a follow-up post to this thread, we can take a look at it and give you some input.

The file exceeds the limit on this forum, anyway round it?

 

Open the file locally in Notepad and search for the word "corrupt" Cut'n'paste only the lines that qualify under the search into a second file and post that instead. If there are a LOT of such things, provide a sample and give the total count. I'm starting to lean toward the idea that you might want to just perform an in-place upgrade repair install instead, if you find a large number of affected items. See this tutorial for more on the repair install: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.

Hi Ed

I did what you suggested and nothing comes up under 'corrupt' so I'm not sure what the issue is...
