    Unable to repair corrupt files causing multiple issues across PC


    Hello there, I've been having problems with my PC for the past ~2 weeks with constant mf.dll errors causing crashes with multiple applications, unable to right-click the desktop background, losing options when right=clicking items in windows explorer like copy/paste/delete, and what looks like multiple corrupt files. I've tried a number of things to resolve these issues including steps from the following sites:



    Additionally, I've tried a system restore to a previous version back to 6/20 before a 2-week vacation I went on, running a PC repair from Outbyte, and lastly a sfc scan which resulted in the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." I have the CBS txt file showing multiple corrupt files but I'm not sure what next steps are to try and repair my system. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated and if any more information is needed please let me know. Thank you in advance!

    :)

  2. Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.

    Suggestions repair corrupt system files Windows 10

    I have been having the same issue and results are noted below if it helps you: (As per Microsoft) the SFC was able to cleanup some files, but not all. The list prompt mentioned that the corrupted files were 'unable to fix them'. Microfoft then suggested
    to run a DISM program. The result was that the 'DISM.exe/online/cleanup-image/scannow' was unable to execute due to an #87 error - "the cleanup-image/scanhealth option is unknown." So, I executed the DSM.exe/? and DISM.exe/Online/?. In neither did I find
    a "scanhealth" option in the "Online" executed folder. This is the 'Error: #87' as it was listed in the scrolled error in the cp. Microsoft, in turn, wrote the following, "I would like to inform that if you are not able to repair
    some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log
    %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”. Under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)” to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan." I did this and the results were unsuccessful. I have now scanned and listed a number
    of corrupted files, many if not all seemingly unrepairable. I am awaiting further direction because the typical data entry from the log is unclear as to the result.
