Hello, again. I was wondering if it's advisable to run SFC /scannow on a regular basis, or only if your PC is experiencing issues, sort of similar to running an AV program regularly. What say you? Thanks...Ed

I am having trouble with a new upgrade in that occasionally the computer spontaneously re-boots and produces a blue screen, I tried to run sfc.exe /scannow from the run box but all that happens is a flash over the desktop. I suspect it is because I am not running as administrator. How can I...

Recently I had a bad Windows 10 computer crash. The PC totally locked up, and the only thing I could do was power it down and power it back up. The first thing I noticed was that my entire Windows Live Mail database was gone - not a single message of the thousands that should have been there was...

I go this error when doing sfc /scannow and was wondering what is was about. Any help greatly appreciated. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log. windir/logs/CBS/CBS.log. For example C;\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log...

I have run sfc /scannow a number of times (as an administrator) and I always get a message that says System File Checker has found corrupted files but cannot repair some of them. I have opened the Log and have found many files which SFC says are corrupted. In Windows XP, there was an easy way...

Hi, my g5 laser mouse on windows 7 causes a massive cpu spike. As a side note, when I click and drag, it can cause full usage of cpu. Also, although I can play videos, after some time, my computer can only hear sound from youtube videos, and not see visuals. I recently installed from windows...

Win 7x64 sfc reports corupt files @ C:\windows\logs\CBS\CBS\.log Any ideas to fix? Thank you

I run System File Checker as an administrator and, when the scan is finished, a message says it found corrupt files that it could not fix - refer to the CBS.log. The original installation disk is in the drive as I run sfc /scannow. That used to work with Windows XP. In addition, with Windows...
