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?

    I just spent another 3 hours trying to install version1909  It said it was 100% installed then gave me the error0x8007007. I will try using Media creation tool again, it wouldn't work as an iso so  I bought a large flash drive and will see if it works from that.

    You can try one of the options below to download a Windows 10 ISO file.

    Catch 22 here Windows 10 version 1909 failed to install - Error 0x800700e AGAIN - Can't run MediaCreationTool1909.exe without it installed, can't run scannow to fix install issues without MediaCreationTool1909.exe to repair W10. I checked on line and double checked that everything that could bother the update was fixed and it is.

    • settings allows Windows to have all the internet foreground and background space.    

    -have 10x the space it needs to download

    -all AV and firewalls are shut down 

    -all non MS startup/background programs are stopped

    Is there another download option other than the or nothing download? Obviously somewhere there is a glitch because so many people are having difficulty getting it to work. It gets to 90%+ then fails. It takes hours for this thing to tell me it won't work.
