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?

This was the one thing I didn't want to/won't do and shouldn't need to. I'll loose programs I no longer have disks for but use daily and cannot be replaced.

The smart thing to do is to stop updating. Not once have I seen any improvement in how my pc works after an update, usually it runs worse but I kept trying. Not once has scannow worked proper not since I installed 10.

All the security updates install with little problem. If those update install then there is something wrong with MS' other updates. I'm sorry you can't help, sorry I have spent weeks and weeks wasting my time, yours and dozens of other peoples time trying to fix something the MS has messed up. Too many people are complaining about this for it to be just my pc.

Is there a way to move all my programs to one of my external drives or flash? I bought a 256 GB flash so that could do the repair install. and a 2TB portable drive to move all my music, artwork etc., just in case I was told I needed more than what MS said?

If wanted, you could clean install Windows 10 with the latest version using the method in the tutorial below, but you will be starting completely over.

Nope didn't work. I tried to reinstall 10 and followed all the directions after working on it all weekend - long story short - it just said install failed. No explanation, no error code, just failed.
