    Can't recover from crash caused by sfc /scannow


    Have not been able to recover my pc after running sfc /scannow utility. I have tried rolling back to previous working restored point. Have also tried usb recovery with no success and at a loss for next step to try recovery choice.
    My winver is 2017090 16299-1004 And as a note have been able to upgrade past 16299-1004.

    Have you installed any driver or Windows update?




    Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

    Please type below command into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

    The following command scans integrity of all protected Windows system files and repairs files with problems when possible.

    Code:
    Sfc  /Scannow   /OFFBOOTDIR=D:\   /OFFWINDIR=D:\Windows


    Please replace partition letter D: with Windows installed partition letter. When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit /enum | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

    FreeBooter,
    Like you I've not seen scannow crashes.
    In this link the OP reported an automatic reset following restorehealth.
    Various intermittent BSODs Win 10 (1903)
    Another unexpected finding.

    16299 (Version 1709) is a 2 year old version of Windows that is no longer supported. That, alone, can cause issues that are very difficult or impossible to rectify.

    Strongly suggest you update to 1903, or at the very minimum, 1809.

    f14tomcat,

    The opening post was unclear:

    "My winver is 2017090 16299-1004 And as a note have been able to upgrade past 16299-1004. "

    How has it been able to upgrade?
    Was "not" missing?

    If not was missing then options are:
    reset save files
    custom install
    reset remove files
    clean install
    troubleshoot

    Yep, it's contradictory. Dead-end service level for 16299 was .1481. So, those would be options. Bat 1 noted the age of the machine, 9 yrs. It may be on the "Sorry, no can do" list from MS. Lots of unknowns here.

    A run with MCT and it's up front Compatibility Checker would catch that right off. By some quirk of good luck, it might upgrade.
