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.

Are we suppose to restart the computer after running this command

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealte

Or can we run sfc /scannow right after without restarting?

Error: 87

the online/cleanup-image/scanhealth option is unknown.

You just forgot to type spaces...( at least 1 before each slash )

dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

Thank you! (gobonkers and Matthias)

I followed their instructions. First i wrote this in the cmd prompt (in safe mode & Networking):

*******************************************************************************************

DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

and the command window shows:

Error: 3017

The requestes operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made.

*******************************************************************************************

I rebooted the O.S. and i wrote this:

*******************************************************************************************

DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

and the command window shows:

Error: 3017

The requestes operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made.

********************************************************************************************

I rebooted the O.S. and i wrote this:

********************************************************************************************

sfc /scannow

and the command window shows:

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart windows and run sfc again.

********************************************************************************************

I rebooted the O.S., i can not fix the O.S. problem.

What could be the problem?

Somebody Knows, how fix it?
