    Himy pc takes about 15 minutes to startup.

    Have tried recently to do a sfc /scannow in safe mode and after checking it said some files were corrupt.

    It also generated a log file. Can anyone help me understand the issue so i can fix it.


    Thanks

    :)

  3. Help with sfc /scannow results

    This is the correct information of what to do for SFC errors

    Each Method/step below progresses to the next if the first does not fix any corrupted files that are found, etc.

    Have you read this Microsoft information about repairing corrupt system files and errors?

    "Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files"

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    And these eightforums.com Tutorials are very detailed for problems resulting from SFC Scan:

    "How to Run "SFC /SCANNOW" Command at Boot or in Windows 8 and 8.1"

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - Run in Windows 8

    Read this Section there in conjunction with the rest of the information they give in above link.

    Note

    If SFC could not fix something, then run the command again to see if it may be able to the next time. Sometimes it may take running the
    sfc /scannow command 3 times restarting the PC after each time to completely fix everything that it's able to.

    If not, then run the
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    command to repair any component store corruption,

    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -CheckHealth

    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -ScanHealth

    Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth


    Restart the PC afterwards, and try the sfc /scannow command again.

    If still not, then try using OPTION ONE above to run the
    sfc /scannow
    command at boot

    If still not, then you could do a refresh of Windows 8, or run a
    System Restore using a restore point dated before the bad file occured to fix it. You may need to
    repeat doing a System Restore until you find a older restore point that may work.

    If still not, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the OPTION THREE section to manually replace the files that SFC could not fix.

    "How to Refresh Windows 8 and Windows 8.1"

    Refresh Windows 8

    Refreshing your PC goes like this:

    • The PC boots into Windows RE (Recovery
      Environment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and apps, and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a fresh copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and apps it has set aside into the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC restarts into the newly installed copy of Windows.
