PS: before you run CMD sfc /scannow go to the CBS log and delete it. Then run CMD sfc /scannow. That way there the log will not be so full.

Upload the zipped file (or the uncompressed file if you can't zip it) to OneDrive or any other file sharing web site. Obtain a "view" link and post it in your next Reply. Zipping is preferable because the uncompressed file will likely be several MB in size, whereas the zipped file will likely be less than 200 KB.
To use OneDrive --
- Go to https://onedrive.live.com
- If you go to that location while you are signed in here at Microsoft Community Forum, you'll be automatically signed in; if not, sign in using the same userid (email) and password that you use to log in here
- Upload the cbs.zip (or cbs.log) file
- After the file is uploaded
- Right-click on the uploaded file and select "Share"
- Select "Get a link"
- Select "View only" and then click "Create link"
- Click "Shorten link"
- Copy the link and Paste it into your next Reply
