sfc /scannow

[BlackBear101]

so ive been having some media problems, and finally decided to use sfc /scannow as i saw someone recommend it, after it finished i got the message 

 "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log."  or something like that.

ive been looking for hours and hours and i honestly cant seem to find a fix.

i really think this is the cause of the media problems, so i wish i could find out how to fix the corrupt files.

 

i tried the following

another sfc /scannow and still got the same result, the corrupt files issue

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /checkhealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

and all of the above again in safe mode. the dism commands say they worked (i think), but the "sfc scannow" still says the same corrupt file error.

 

any help on how to solve this?

You can clean install windows and it will fix it.

You basically have to resinstall Windows (though I think Resetting or Refreshing should also do it).

I'm just going to copy the answer from Microsoft's page so I don't bugger it up:

Quote

Refreshing your PC reinstalls Windows and keeps your personal files and settings. It also keeps the apps that came with your PC and the apps you installed from the Windows Store. Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but deletes your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC. Restoring your PC is a way to undo recent system changes you've made.

Note that this feature is only on Windows 8 and after.

You move your files somewhere else while clean installing and then move them back.

Go to Settings -> Update and Recovery (or "Update and Security") -> Recovery. There might be only one option, but it'll take you to another menu that gives you the option to keep your data or outright reinstall Windows.
