Windows 10: Windows resource protection could not perform the requested action

Recently my pc crashed whilst installing an update and now won’t boot. I have tried system reset and restore and they both do not work. When I trie to do an sfc scan it completes the verification phase then says “windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation”

:)

 

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

After System File Checker completed you would have received one of the following messages:

•Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

•Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

•Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.

•Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.



Which message was received?

axe,

Before I retire for the morning and before I forget:
- a few sites suggest running SFC in Safe mode to resolve the Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation issue.

It doesn't seem as though that would make a difference, but it is easy enough to try.

skeetz,

The install.wim file should be in the sources folder on the thumbdrive you created.




Rather than try and find it, please download a fresh ISO from Techbench

Scroll down to the ISO download section






- make sure that you select the drop down picks that match your system
Your system specs are sparse I can't tell

Edition: Windows 10 (probably)
Language: English (possibly)
[ 32-bit Download ]
??? --- or --- ???
[ 64-bit Download ]

Press the correct bit-depth button to start the download

When it finishes downloading, just mount it (double click)

look in the sources folder to make sure you see an install.wim file

If you don't see it, select all in the File Explorer window,
Select Copy Path on the Home menu (ribbon)
Then past the copy into a post.

No rush skeetz ... axe might want to continue with things in already motion ... I'll defer to him
I'm hitting the hay - it's 05:30 here

Thanks all.

Thanks, it's easier for members to help if you just put the info directly in a post.
