After this update “sfc /scannow” gets stuck at 100% for about 6-7 minutes, and afterwards reports that there are corrupted files that it cannot fix and asks for reboot.

The situation with “sfc/scannow” repeats after restart. I checked it with three different machines. There are a lot of errors in CBS.log file.

We’re aware of an issue impacting some Windows 8 customers trying to run the sfc /scannow command after installing KB2821895, where customers using the System File Checker receive an error message that there are corrupt files and that the system requires a restart to repair the files. 

To work around this issue:

·         Open an elevated command window

·         Run the command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, and wait for this command to complete.

·         Run the sfc /scannow command again until the command completes and reports that there is no corruption. If you still get an error that there is corruption, you should contact technical support for further assistance as your system may have actual corruption.

    Why are you laughing???

    Okay good to know, its not the SSD then, BTW a "Wipe" is not the same as a "secure wipe", I don't know how Samsung SSD works but still.

    Anyway...

    Just to be clear, Your problem is that when you try to install/update Norton it won't work, the file gets corrupted? And I assume that you haven't installed the "update" in question here before hand?

    Hi!

    I think you are a bit confused, but as you landed here you probably have the same issue as the rest of us. Before I had this issue I had the same symptoms and it turns out that, that time, it was my new SSD witch was causing corruption. You may need to do a secure wipe on your SSD! what SSD is it?

    if OCZ go to there forum there is a thread about it.

    gob0nkers thanks for the reply.  but yes ive tried that already.  its confusing.  ill do a clean install with just windows defender as my antisoftware and it wont update.  then ill do one with Norton and It wont update.  ill try to download virus def from MS website and It will say .."signature of "etc" is corrupt or invalid" and It wont install.  I go into internet options and check box to allow signature of "etc" to install reguardless" and it still wont allow it.  ill try avg and same results.  I wanna say its a virus not allowing me to install or even extract files that are in the element of anything related to "virus definition"  weird.  I can download and install anything else.  no problem there.  any other suggestions would greatly help.  even for a clean install suggestion would help .. could it be motherboard settings? I know this sounds weird but im all out of options. thanks
