  1. Windows 10 update making sfc /scannow not working


    I just recently updated to KB 4528760, upon checking the update history it is stated that the update failed to install, however my PC actually updated to it. Also now the sfc /scannow is not working it states Windows resource protection could not start the repair service. I already tried this method:


    Step 1: Press Windows and R keys together to launchRun dialog, and input services.msc in the box, then click OK


    to continue.

    Step 2: In the popup window, select the Windows Modules Installer and double-click it.

    Step 3: You will see Windows Modules Installer Properties window, set Startup type asManual, then click Apply and OK to confirm this change.

    Step 4: Close the services window. Then type cmd in the search box of Windows 10 and right-clickCommand Prompt to choose Run as administrator.


    Step 5: Type the following commands in the command window and hitEnter to continue after each command.


    sc config trustedinstaller start= demand
    net start trustedinstaller



    But it didn't fix the problem.
    I wanted to uninstall the update or reinstall the update and check to see if it fixes the problem. Please give me suggestions on how to fix the issue. I don't want to start over reinstalling the OS. It's frustrating.

    :)

    Windows 10 update doesn't work

    SFC /Scannow did do that already + deleted all under C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.

    SFC /SCANNOW Errors After Update


    I've just updated a Windows 8.1 Pro PC to Windows 10 using the Techbench ISO which updated without any problems. However, I've just run sfc /scannow and it found errors it could not repair. I have managed to get sfc /scannow to run without errors - see what I did below:

    1. Ran sfc /scannow which showed error "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."
    2. Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth which reported "The component store is repairable."
    3. Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth which failed with Error: 0x800f081f "The source files could not be found.Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature."
    4. Mounted the W10 Techbench ISO and ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:G:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess which reported successfully "The restore operation completed successfully."
    5. Ran sfc /scannow wich completed successfully with report "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them."

    Please advise:
    1. Why would sfc /scannow fail on a newly updated installation which ran sfc /scannow error free immediately before the upgrade?
    2. Why did I have to use install.wim from the Techbench ISO at step 4 above for Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to work and will I have to use install.wim from the Techbench ISO every time I need to run this Dism command?
    3. How can I configure my PC so it has the correct install.wim file for the Dism command to work properly?
