KB2821895 Windows 8 x64 Update 06.11.2013 problem

Anonymous

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.

After running dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, I shutdown and rebooted my system then attempted to run sfc /scannow only to have it report that pending updates required a restart.

I found the C:\Windows\Winsxs\pending.xml file and noted that it was stacked with many updates that had not been applied.

Finally, instead of a shutdown, I issued a restart. The pending updates were then applied. I don't know if this is isolated to my system but it could be a problem for others if they didn't realize that was required.

Question: What do I do about KB2821895? Do I leave it where it is or uninstall it?

Thanks...

That's a good question!!! Because of this update I no longer trust Microsoft in that way, that I can't have Windows update set to automatically install updates anymore.
