General Computer Support / sfc /scannow not repairing corruptions

« on: May 15, 2015, 04:19:07 am »

I am running Windows 8.1 and, after running sfc /scannow am returned a message:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

I am attaching the CBS log.  I tried running  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth but that did not solve the issue.  I have read that sometimes sfc /scannow must be run multiple times with restarts to resolve issues, but wasn't sure if this was the exception or the rule.  Can anyone offer insight or suggestions?

Many thanks.

Shane,
Thank you for the reply - is safe mode something that is easy to do in 8.1?  I thought I would try it again tonight when I return home.
Again, thank you for a great product.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Reset Registry Permission question - Running Windows Repair 3.1.5 (SOLVED)

« on: May 14, 2015, 05:59:02 am »

So a few months ago I signed up for Microsoft Assure protection for my 8.1 machine.  I had noticed errors popping up in the reliability monitor and had seen a few issues with windows update (running forever, not catching updates, etc).
The tech used Windows Repair as a tool and it seemed to clear things up - in any case, the past couple of days my laptop has been reverting back to old issues.  I think running the windows update repair has fixed it, but I decided last night to run the full menu of fixes.
That being said, step one (reset registry permissions) was still 'running' this morning after 7 1/2 hours.  I use the air quotes because the CPU meter was quiet - I assumed the reset had frozen, so I cancelled out.
Three questions -
1) 7 1/2 hours is too long, right?
2) Was it ok to stop the repair?
3) Suggestions for getting it to run correctly?
