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) If you have no access to your 1809 File History, it probably was added improperly to 1909. There was a strange thing you had to do which I've forgotten. If you don't do it, you get a fresh File History. But maybe the old one hasn't been wiped (I don't know), then maybe you can still do it -- but do you really need what's in there? Were you able to get iTunes (& everything else) back in shape without it?

(2) Did OneDrive pick up from where it was before, i.e., do all your 1809 files appear to be on it? I'm fairly sure my own files there survived my clean install a few years ago.

(3) The system image backups can be mounted & individual files/folders copied off them, if that's all you need. It's done in File Explorer. You could even mount that 1809 image (if you've still got it) & copy stuff off it.

(4) Battles with Permissions are long & sad. If computers had been around long enough, they'd be longer & sadder than the hundred years war. If it's only telling you to click for permanent permission (like clicking in WindowsImageBackup does), then just do that. Otherwise...

Be more specific what files are you trying to move/whatever & from where to where?

Well I was trying to reinstall my music by adding my iTunes library which are in the file history folder and just wondered if it was needed afterward. I made file histories because I read it was another way to save everything if there was a crash but now it says I don't have access to them. File History, One Drive, Clouds, Image Back ups, I don't know which one is really useful after all I still had to wipe everything and nothing just popped back on.

I don't understand why I keep being told I don't have permission to access any of my files. I've given myself access to everything and also added everyone to permissions and still I get these messages even after restarting.

Sorry, thought the install would be the answer and I could stop bugging you.

You mean "START, Settings, Update & Security, Backup" & then either Add a Drive or the stuff at More Options? I don't use it. Did you use it heavily? You know it keeps not just a copy of your documents, whatever, but it keeps multiple copies of each one each time you edit/save them? Do you really need that? Also, there's a mechanism in it to make system images -- & I don't know whether it allows you to rename them to know what they are.

If you want to continue with the File History you were using in 1809, you'll have to be careful how you attach it back now in 1909. And I'll have to look that up, I don't recall it. It isn't a straight-forward Add a Drive.
