Can NOT start up my PC: HP Z440: Prepare Automatic Repair - Diagnosing your PC

Anonymous

I have followed your commands but:

X:\Sources>SFC /SCANNOW /OffBootDir=C: /OffWinDir=C:\Windows

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart

Windows and run sfc again.

Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Checker Version 6.0

Scans the integrity of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with

correct Microsoft versions.

SFC [/SCANNOW] [/VERIFYONLY] [/SCANFILE=<file>] [/VERIFYFILE=<file>]

/SCANNOW Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with

            problems when possible.

/VERIFYONLY Scans integrity of all protected system files. No repair operation is

            performed.

/SCANFILE Scans integrity of the referenced file, repairs file if problems are

            identified. Specify full path &lt;file&gt;

/VERIFYFILE Verifies the integrity of the file with full path <file>. No repair

            operation is performed.

/OFFBOOTDIR For offline repair, specify the location of the offline boot directory

/OFFWINDIR For offline repair, specify the location of the offline windows directory

/OFFLOGFILE For offline repair, optionally enable logging by specifying a log file path

e.g.

    sfc /SCANNOW 

    sfc /VERIFYFILE=c:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll 

    sfc /SCANFILE=d:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll /OFFBOOTDIR=d:\ /OFFWINDIR=d:\windows 

    sfc /SCANFILE=d:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll /OFFBOOTDIR=d:\ /OFFWINDIR=d:\windows /OFFLOGFILE=c:\log.txt 

    sfc /VERIFYONLY
