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.
