Windows 10: SFC /Scannow failed, found some corrupt files but was unable to fix them.

Two days ago, i tried running sfc scan and found that there was some corrupt files. I tried to use dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealthalso checkhealth and scanhealth, but the result said that there was no virus.I tried to check cbs.log manually and found Onedrive.lnk was the corrupt file but i didnt installed onedrive and even after installing and uninstalling onedrive the problem still persist.

SFC Finds Corrupt Files but is Unable to Fix

When you get this error it means that the System File Check a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection simply could add/repair missing or corrupted files or other problems with these files.

If you get this error you should try the following a few times:

• sfc/scannow
• reboot
• sfc/scannow

Only when after a few times sfc/scannow still hasn't solved it, then you could try DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.

A reboot is necessary for sfc in order to try to fix the problems, it usually takes a few tries for sfc to solve the problems.

 

Sfc /scannow..... found corrupt files but unable to fix some of them.

Final solution........ did a Repair Install. That fixes the sfc issue.

 

SFC Finds Corrupt Files but is Unable to Fix

I tried your aforementioned method, rebooting 3 times, and running sfc /scannow 3 times, but with no luck I've decided to try the DISM method.

Thanks y'all!
