    sfc /scannow WILL NOT function


    Cmd Prompt > sfc /scannow says Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service every time I try to use it. What I have tried to do to fix this through reading this site and many others but no luck. This is what I remember trying:


    safe mode start
    Windows Modules Installer is at manual
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth > operation successfully completed
    net start trustedinstaller>successful
    chkdsk /r > typed y but it didn't work either
    ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs and restart

    all have failed


    administrator cmd prompt says C:\WINDOWS\system32 I have a 64 though some programs run on 32

    I tried reinstalling 10 with keeping my programs, but the internet is too slow to get it to work even after several days of trying. I can't fresh install even if I had my disk with me. Many of my programs can't be replaced well not by me.


    Have windows 10 but updates always fail many, many, many times if they going through at all.


    I need my pc working properly and something is definitely wrong with it. I need the scan and repair to work.


    If someone can help me I would really appreciate the kindness.

    :)

    sfc /scannow error repair

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We appreciate the efforts you have taken in trying to resolve this issue. I have analyzed the error logs that you have shared and I would suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Type Command Prompt in the
      search bar
      on the Taskbar.
    2. Right click on the Command Prompt icon and select
      Run as administrator.
    3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    4. Once the DISM command is executed, we would suggest you to run sfc /scannow again.


    If the integrity violations are not repaired after running sfc scan, the best option will be performing a repair installation. A repair installation will repair all the corrupted files.



    Refer the steps mentioned below:



    Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) and use it to perform a repair installation
    of Windows 10. We have a video that can show you how if you aren’t sure



    Let us know the results.



    Regards,
