Cannot run sfc /scannow to completion despite being in safe mode and the PendingDeletes and PendingRenames folders exist under %WinDir%\WinSxS\Temp

Following this guide Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files I start Command Prompt as administrator.





I run this successfully

However on running

It fails at 68% complaining about

The original guide suggests trying in safe mode, which I have to no avail. 
I note that the PendingDeletes and PendingRenames folders exist
under %WinDir%\WinSxS\Temp do exist as the guide further suggests. 
The folders have many files in them.

I am on Windows 10.

I have also tried the steps in: https://www.infopackets.com/news/96...the_CBS.log_File_if_System_File_Checker_Fails my sfcdetails.txt file does not have any errors in it and after doing most of the steps I am have been recommended to try using a windows repair dvd, getting the files from a known good source or running a repair install (if I manage to try this and it also doesn't work I'll update this post)
