Endless Corrupt Files and Troubleshooting.

Yesterday my SFC /Scannow command, run from Powershell Admin found corrupt files it was unable to fix.  I expected The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth command to take care of it.  Instead it reported "error 0x800f0906" and said it lacked the files to repair the problem. 

I looked up error 0x800f0906 in a Dism command.  It suggested a repair that started and stopped services, a

net stop wuauserv

cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution

ren Download Download.old

net start wuauserv

net stop bits

net start bits

net stop cryptsvc

cd %systemroot%\system32

ren catroot2 catroot2old

net start cryptsvc

It also suggested Windows Update was malfunctioning and that I should fix it from The Troubleshooting screen.  I did, and SFC /Scannow came up clean and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth reported error code 0x800f081f instead.

I then used The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup and The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase Commands.  I then used The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Command and it reported "No component store corruption detected."  I thought I was in the clear, but  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth keeps reporting it found and repaired files and The Troubleshooter keeps reporting it's fixed problems in Windows Update.  Probably not the biggest deal in the Windows world but a little unsettling.

    Thus  don't  use  Chkdsk /r

    Well,

    Run SFC /scannow   again in an usual not in a safe mode.

    If "SFC" will find corrupted files, just after the scanning follow these steps:

    • Press "Windows" + "R"  keys.
    • Type CMD  and press the "OK" button.
    • Type  Powershell in the CMD.exe window, then press the "Enter" key.
    • Type the line below. This is the single line. Type exactly! You may simply copy the entire line and then paste it onto "Windows PowerShell" window as the inputline.

    Get-Content -path  'C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log' -Tail 100 | select-string ("telemetry.ASM", "utc.app.json") | Format-Table |  out-file -NoClobber "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\checklog-to-community-forum.txt"

    • Press the "Enter" key.
    • Close the window.
    • Go to your desktop, right-click on the desktop and press "update" in the context menu.
    • Find the "checklog-to-community-forum" file, open it.
    • If that file is not empty, copy the text and print it here in your message.

    Thanks!

    sounds like you have a virus. run Microsoft malware, , it is a free program. If you still have the problem I strongly recommend  Kaspersky for the deepest virus discovery. If you can't solve the virus issue I would do a PC refresh.

    1. Is KB3035583, KB2976978 and/or KB3044374 listed in Installed Updates?  [NOT APPLICABLE is not an appropriate answer]
    2. Does ASC's Rescue Center contain backups of ALL the changes it's ever made to the computer (not just changes made in the past 3 or 6 months)?
    3. What Definitions version is currently displayed in Defender's Update tab?

    When I installed Iobit's [Advanced SystemCare] Ultimate (Ver. 8.1) I started getting messages that I have [to turn on Windows Defender manually]  [SOURCE]

    1. Do you still have to enable Windows Defender (and or the Windows Firewall) manually?

    This would only help me if I can use it at The Command Prompt X: option in Recovery.  I'll do just that.
