Hi,
Yep windows defender update caused the errors it's believed

You should be okay just doing 1-4 & 5 above
Restart and sfc /VerifyOnly should show clean again had to do it on 4 installs so far.

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I'll report back.

Please try each of these: (one has " ").

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

or

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

Addendum:

Found the CBS.log file, Don't know how to zip it, I have 7-Zip, do not use One Drive, drop box nor google drive. I'm familiar with imgur.

Please use 7zip.

For share links many software companies add extra clickable links that can install unwanted software.

There are none of these links when using the above three companies.
They enable us to view many share links without the risk of accidental clicks that can install unwanted software.
The three listed are free. Google offers the most free storage.


For instructions on how to use 7zip please see this video:

There are others videos on youtube

For One Drive:
