  1. sfc /scannow "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"


    I've been trying to do "sfc /scannow" because my computer will not start up without crashing to the BSOD, but everytime I type it into the admin command prompt is tells me that Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service even when i'm in safe mode. I looked online and previous Microsoft support recommended I use "sc config trustedinstaller start= auto". This does not work, since command prompt returns "'sc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

    :)
