    SFC not working and neither is DISM


    Hey, I'm new here.
    Maybe I should start a new post, but let me just start here, as this thread is the closest to my problem that I can find.
    I have a very old laptop, but despite the age it has worked relatively fine for my needs with just an HDD change. I bought this at the very end of Vista lifespan with an almost immediate Win7 upgrade offered. I then skipped Win 8 totally, but rolled a Win 10 when it came, and it has been working well. But you get the picture. This machine is old.

    Onto the point: I'm getting an occasional fan rev up, with the CPU at 100%. The process is Service Host: Local System (Network Restricted). Recently, I also lost all sound on the computer, which chkdsk /f /r was able to salvage. I have a feeling these might relate to a same problem.
    I researched, and found out that sfc /scannow will help. OK. It starts the verification process, but fails at 18% saying corrupt files exist. When I export the sfcdetails.txt from the log, it does not really report which files are corrupt so as to replace them. 00000e22 [SR] Beginning Verify and Repair transaction and then the logfile ends.

    Because I cannot complete SFC, I'm told to run DISM, and that is how I ended up here.
    When I run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Image version 10.0.10240.16384
    At 20% an error 1726 with remote procedure call failed.

    So I go to dowload the ISO and mount it. It will then give me the .esd
    so I'm having my fingers crossed while running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:F:\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess

    ... only to get Image version 10.0.10240.16384
    20% an error 1726. Remote procedure call failed.

    Help me out here. What is going on with this machine and how can I get healthy system files without wiping the machine?

    Thanks.

    Problem solved with the Windows 10 fall update 1511.
    Alhough installing the update would always fail after 22% and revert back to the old Windows.

    I only managed to run through the install when I let the program delete every program file, setting and driver I had, leaving only my own files intact.

    Took a lot of time and patience, but SFC now runs without errors, so the system is fine.
