sfc scan problems 22H2

Hi, are you certain that particular warning is actually the cause of SFC reporting integrity violations? It is a commonly experienced warning and by itself seems insignificant.

Compare:
sfc scannow warning log : is owned twice or has its security set twice | Sysnative Forums

Windows 10: Why Does CBS.log Say Directory Is Owned Twice or Has Its Security Set Twice? - Super User

These can be safely ignored as SFC reports the final result of the scan as 'no integrity violations found'.

I assume you're not seeing this last.. and if so, it seems unlikely what you cite is the cause, reading the above.

Jason,

That report is not uncommon and is generally of no significance whatsoever.
A common example of what causes that report is
- Folder ownership & permissions being set for the folder with separate entries setting exactly the same ownership & permissions for all its subfolders,
compared to
- Folder ownership & permissions being set for the folder & for all its subfolders.
Sometimes the SFC manifest has one version of how ownership & permissions should be set but the Windows updates that set up those folders-files had the other.
If that's all that SFC cannot repair then nothing's wrong at all.

If you have other irreparable errors reported by SFC then use Option 5 of the SFC tutorial to extract a list of errors from the CBS log, remove duplicate results lines manually if you've run SFC more than once so it's just left with the latest run's results & post the results file if you want comments about it.

You have not said if you were connected to the internet when you ran the Dism command that's given in the notes at the end of the SFC tutorial's Option 3 for use if SFC reports irreparable errors.

You have not explained
"Certain issues"
"problems there"


All the best,

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,

Thanks; by way of a recommendation: when you have the laptop (unless you can get him to do it) start using 3rd party disk imaging of at least all Windows partitions and update that image e.g. weekly to a large enough external disk. Macrium Reflect is favoured by many here- there are others.

Start with a full image, and create a definition file (backup rules) for use next time as prompted.

Then after that you can create a differential image (faster, smaller file).

You can then restore the PC to as was when you created an image- e.g. should something really bad happen- covering even laptop theft (transfer to new laptop) or disk failure.

its just a pity that there is no patch or anything

This procedure might well resolve the error.

I don't get any SFC problems on a 2010 laptop I updated from Windows 7.

I have never failed to resolve SFC irreparable errors*** by running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth whilst connected to the internet so I don't know what sort of problems might be involved.
But if, as I think, you just mean that one with the permissions mix-up then that is entirely an SFC manifest error and not something caused by your computer.
*** I've only had SFC irreparable errors once or maybe twice.

I run SFC every month as part of my pre-WU checking & backing-up routine.
I have a note in my Outlook Calendar to run SFC each month.


All the best,
Denis

I'll confess- I'm an ostrich-


I never run SFC.. (if I did, there'd be one minor tweak I'd have to redo).
