sfc /scannow WILL NOT function

Anonymous

Cmd Prompt > sfc /scannow says Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service every time I try to use it. What I have tried to do to fix this through reading this site and many others but no luck. This is what I remember trying:

safe mode start

Windows Modules Installer is at manual

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth > operation successfully completed

net start trustedinstaller>successful

chkdsk /r > typed y but it didn't work either

ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs and restart

all have failed

administrator cmd prompt says C:\WINDOWS\system32 (I have a 64 though some programs run on 32)

I tried reinstalling 10 with keeping my programs, but the internet is too slow to get it to work even after several days of trying. I can't fresh install even if I had my disk with me. Many of my programs can't be replaced well not by me.

Have windows 10 but updates always fail many, many, many times if they going through at all.

I need my pc working properly and something is definitely wrong with it. I need the scan and repair to work.

If someone can help me I would really appreciate the kindness.

(1) You don't seem to use the Downloads folder. I guess your way is OK.

(2) I don't like that bugcheck. Do you get a lot of them? Those are blue screen errors. There are many threads on bugchecks that are really sad to look at. They end up checking various hardware components one after the other, swapping RAM chips, installing fans & blowing out dust bunnies. But it could just be software as well.

(3) OS Build 17763.557 was 25 quality updates ago. That's pretty far back...!...

Not sure what to suggest. Need to hit the sack.

Affinity Designer & Affinity Photo have the same hardware specs...

Windows-based PC (64 bit) with mouse or equivalent input device
DirectX 10-compatible Graphics Cards and above
2GB RAM minimum (4GB RAM recommended)
670MB of available space; more during installation
1280x768 display size or better

And your HP Pavilion 21-h013w can handle that. And you said one of them did work fine a while. (You got the other only after problems surfaced). I think specs isn't the problem.

(1) It could be worth a shot to deal with KB4023057 as in that article I posted earlier. It could be the real troublemaker with the services it has given you. Either uninstall or fully disable it. However, other threads indicate it's a monster to deal with. It will come back & never quit trying to upgrade your computer. And it can thwart WUShowHide.

(2) Or do the dual-install I also mentioned earlier & see what happens in that. You'll have a clean 1909 (as well as that buggy 1809). Want fuller instructions?

(1) Shift+Restart reboots to the Recovery partition (if it exists & ReagentC /Info says it is enabled & points to it)...

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.815]

(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>Reagentc /Info

Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration

Information:

    Windows RE status:         Enabled

    Windows RE location:       \?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0*partition4*\Recovery\WindowsRE

    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 7f582e78-a2f7-11e9-86db-c6c7375e4034

    Recovery image location:

    Recovery image index:      0

    Custom image location:

    Custom image index:        0

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

If those conditions are not met, Shift+Restart will simply reboot back to Windows. But it never will boot to the USB drive, I don't think. There must be another explanation for your bottom two DiskPart's both showing 1909 when your partition is 1809. But the pictures you showed were perfect for what you did in the 1809 environment. So -- I'm fairly confident the letters are good there too.

(2) Click the Install button. It is set to lift the computer to 1909 yet keep all installed apps & user files. My fingers are crossed.

I tried to use the usb again. My internet is too erratic today to make it work with installing any updates.

I was wondering if I could repair without making it update? I keep seeing that the updates are causing more problems than they solve anyway. And since it may be something that is wrong with basic windows I thought it might be okay to try. However I see this ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/c2a42e14-b7b2-4375-95bd-8e814a200702?platform=QnA

which does give a repair choice. What do you think? (I haven't clicked install yet!)

I noticed that both 1809 and 1909 were identical. It seems when the usb is plugged in, the environment is in 1909 whether or not I choose use portable device. If it isn't plugged in another appears. Will give the upgrade/repair another try. Crossed fingers.
