sfc /scannow WILL NOT function

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?

    Well, I've been back & did begin a lengthy write-up, but now I notice you did already expand the right partition...

    The numbers didn't come out precise, but they didn't for me, either. Importantly, you've got a Recovery partition under 500 MB & with over 50 MB free. (Mine is over 500 MB & now has over 320 MB free space. But all was working well for me before. So -- I'm doubtful now you actually will be cured of anything...

    )

    Anyway, here is how to get your GPT Attributes back in shape...

    (1) Type CMD into Search, & click "Run as administrator".

    (2) Enter the following commands...

    DiskPart

    Select  Disk  0

    Select  Part  5

    Detail  Part

    GPT ATTRIBUTES=0x8000000000000001

    Detail  Part

    Exit

    The 2nd Detail Part should show it right...

    DISKPART> Detail Part

    Partition 4

    Type    : de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

    Hidden  : No

    Required: Yes

    Attrib  : 0X8000000000000001         <<< Was all zeros after Partition Assistant was done.

    Offset in Bytes: 999313944576

      Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info

      ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------

    * Volume 3         WinRE 1909   NTFS   Partition    847 MB  Healthy    Hidden

    Also, it will look better in Disk Management, changing from...

    ...to...

    Check whether you can make a Windows system image backup now. It would be nice, but the condition wasn't affecting me. So, I'm doubtful it cured anything.

    OK. The Recovery partition looks good (except it still says OEM). Too bad it was no fix for anything. Let us revisit your site...

    https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-21-h000-touchsmart-all-in-one-desktop-pc-series/6528604/model/6529764

    HP Pavilion 21-h013w TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop PC (ENERGY STAR)

    (1) Click the "Scan Now" button there for an operating system check. What results?

    (2) Then click "Software, Drivers & Firmware" to see whether a BIOS upgrade is shown to you.

    BIOS is very important. I can't believe your current version (80.10 dated 2014-06-16) is the latest. But it isn't showing an upgrade to me there. Maybe it will require the use of the HP Support Assistant to get it. Have you ever used that...?...

    It says a BIOS upgrade may be necessary to support a Windows upgrade.
