I have two Windows 8 systems, which only run basically to get updates. But neither one has exhibited any problems.
On the 18th, I did a system file check on one system to test something. The result I got was rather unexpected. It took the SFC around 15 minutes to get to the "Verification 100% complete" message and another 12 minutes for it to tell me there were unrepairable files. There were many perceived problems, as you can see from the SFC extracted log entry below.
Since one system had done this I checked the other one and it was fine, with no errors. But two days later, after doing an update, it showed the same problem with 11666 components involved.
I checked for a virus with MSE and Malwarebytes and nothing found.
Since it is highly improbably this many files could have been corrupted, I suspect it is something regarding the SFC utility, or the database it uses to check the system. Any thoughts or experiences with this?
SFC could not repair the install, even after rebooting several times..but DISM (/RestoreHealth switch) repaired it in one run with a reboot required. The first system that I repaired with DISM is still showing clear, but I am waiting for any responses before I repair the second one, in case something needs to be tested.
