Windows 10: Windows SFC scan found corrupt files it couldn't fix and I'm unsure how to go about it

Been having my computer crash every now and then and the event viewer listed it at error 0x00000116; when looking for what I could do about it I was informed of doing an sfc scan in the command prompt and it has found corrupt files that it couldn't repair. I have the CBS.log but have no idea how to read it effectively: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1njjX1wJ1kA4ONmhxPlPyb9eTJMpxSHnG/view?usp=sharingI hope a drive link to the file suffices.

This issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files. Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

SFC scan found corrupt files and was unable to fix some of them.

In accordance with the title, I decided to run an SFC scan after I had to forcibly shut my laptop down after a system freeze. It did find corrupt files and was unable to fix all of them. I've included the CBS.log file if a diagnosis is possible. My laptop is the Dell G3 as listed in my system specs. Thanks!

 

SFC scanning is not fixing the corrupted files & how to replace it?

Try method 2 first then method 1 again.

Method 1:

System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.
Run system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.
sfc /scannow

If it does not help, use method 2.
Method 2:

Run DISM tool and check the issue. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

after the scan is complete type the following and press Enter

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
