SFC won't repair corrupt files - Error

vandiere · 21 Oct 2015

Each time I run SFC /scannow, I get an error message stating

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 21% complete.

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

After much effort, I managed to get DISM to repair some errors it found but that didn't fix my SFC problem. I also ran SFC in Safe Mode but had the same result.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:J:\So
urces\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10240.16384

Image Version: 10.0.10240.16384

The restore operation completed successfully.
The operation completed successfully.

I also attempted a Reset for Windows 10 but I got an error message that wouldn't allow me to complete the Reset. I'd really like to avoid having to do a Reset and use SFC to fix my corrupted files. Any suggestions?

Maybe try running at boot? Don't know if you tried that yet. Here's a tutorial on the SFC command. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...dows-10-a.html

Go into Services and locate Windows Modules Installer and double click(or right click and choose properties). Then Change the Startup type to Manual. If it is already set to Manual, try disabling then reset to Manual.

I ran the diskpart but I don't see where my WIN10 partition would be. Volume 4 is my system drive. Not sure how to setup the offline SFC based on this information.

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 E NTFS Simple 1397 GB Healthy
Volume 1 H DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 2 J J_CCSA_X64F UDF DVD-ROM 3894 MB Healthy

Volume 4 C NTFS Partition 238 GB Healthy System
Volume 5 G MegaDrive NTFS Partition 931 GB Healthy
Volume 6 F Removable 0 B No Media

I switched it to disabled and then set it back to manual. Tried SFC /Scannow again but I get the same error as before.

Maybe just running CHKDSK /f will work.

Using Diskpart was to discover the logical drive letter for the windows and the system recovery drive. You can also find that info in file explorer. Running sfc /scannow at boot should keep it from hanging like it was doing to you. Find out the drive letters and then do this part and see if it helps.
