Cannot Complete Scannow in Command Prompt
My Windows 10 computer has been freezing/crashing frequently recently (HP Pavilion 500-123ea). I got some good advice via this forum to try running the sfc/scannow diagnostic process to try to resolve the problem. However it gets up to about 56% and I get an error message: 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation'. And there's no elaboration beyond that, so I don't really know what's going on. The computer is continuing to freeze/crash in Word alone (no Web) and while browsing eg on Yahoo, Yahoo Mail etc. I've run PC Health Advisor software which suggests it's not fragmentation, nor RAM, nor registry issues, and the monitor looks OK.
This might seem like an obscure problem, but I think if it could be resolved it might help stop my system from crashing, so I don't know, has anyone come across anything like this before. I should add that I tried 'Dism' and that's OK. Any insights would be appreciated.
