When SFC cannot repair corrupted files it usually means the source files in the store are also corrupted. You can confirm this using Option Five in this tutorial to view the scan results.
Run SFC Command in Windows 10
You can repair the store using DISM's RestoreHealth option, see this tutorial.

After the DISM repairs restart the PC then use SFC again, this time it should be able to complete the repairs. You may need to repeat the above steps up to three times to complete all possible repairs.
Should you still have problems after that, then an in-place repair upgrade can repair Windows. This reinstalls Windows while leaving all your files and installed apps in place.
