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.

cFos I remember that from the old days, back when we where cavemen and did not have fiber optics like today ;)

cFos can absolutely be the culprit in terms of corrupted data steam (downloads) probably not by itself due and maybe it got some bug...or... you have a crappy ISP, or phone line or whatever you have :) Good luck! and let us know how it goes, its always helpful to learn something new.

OK! so I feel you're frustration, I've been there a couple of times myself. So I know how it feels. That's why I will personally try to help you solve this. However communicating here takes forever, you reply, I'll wait for "notice" and when I get one maybe I'm busy, so I prefer to have a live communication when I help people, so contact me via Skype ******@live.se I'll help you sorts this thing, if you like...

Hi There People - Had the exact same problem with this update; was racking my brains and did multiple

clean installs onto my SSD before finding this issue online.

I suspect quite a few of you did the ol' piece by piece re-install with sfc /scannnow runs between each one to narrow down what was causing the corruption (I did about 20 sfc runs lol).

Ran the DISM scan and restorehealth command to what seems like good effect.. (although the scan showed no corruption... then the restorehealth stated clearly it repaired corruption.. weird.

No it all seems to be working well, but really it's not good enough. I really want to love Windows 8, but dang.. it's making it hard work!!

Thanks for the help everyone, hopefully it's clear skies from here on out (or close enough) :)
