    Windows 10 - suffers weekly from file Corruption, (Search won't open)


    Windows 10 x64
    LENOVO_MT_20E2_BU_Think_FM_ThinkPad W550s
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2394 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB
    All drivers and Bios up to date.
    All hardware passed testing.
    Macrium Reflect Home Edition v7.1.3196 Backup tool.
    +++ +++ +++

    This has been going on for months. I need to run sfc /scannow everyday before my differential backup runs.
    I have run DISM and SFC until I can do them in my sleep.

    What I have noted is that it seems to corrupts whenever I do a reboot. I am afraid to do a reboot these days.
    I have tested all components, cpu, memory, disks and all other hardware, everything is fine.
    If the reboot takes forever I know I am in trouble. Usually my reboot is 50 seconds. If it is corrupted and I am able to get to the Desktop, things like the Search Window and the Windows Icon do not work. Nor if I right click on the CMD icon in order to run in Administrative mode, none of these work. And/Or explorer.exe is funky.
    Some times it fails to load Windows at all and I am at the Blue Screen of trying to repair Windows.

    I just recovered my PC from a backup that was 2 weeks old. A full backup and all differential backups failed to recovery. I was shocked that I had to go back nearly 2 weeks to get the image where sfc passed,

    Today - I have 4 MircoSoft updates to run for Win 10.
    Last night - I did a full image backup
    SFC /scannow passed this morning.
    I did a complete backup of C:\Windows (I hope I can just restore this if I get hammered again)
    Well I am off to do an update! Wish me luck! If I don't respond I am rebuilding again.

    If anyone has to recover their machine as often as I or has some idea as to why this is constantly occurring,
    Please help me. What exactly is corrupt? Can I just backup those ahead of time?

    :)
