Hi. I'm trying to fix a friend's PC. It's a Lenovo H520s, so I'm assuming the Win 8 is legit - it says it's activated and displays a portion of the product key. It won't launch any MS Office apps and a certain installed game, but it can launch browsers, media players, Paint and some other apps. SFC was unable to fix some file corruptions. DISM is giving me "Error code 1812 An initialization error occurred'.
I do not know how to interpret the CBS logs but I saw some 'Failed' in a number of lines. Running out of ideas, I used SFCFix and found these:
AutoAnalysis::
FIXED: Performed DISM repair on file Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB of version 6.2.9200.16430.

CORRUPT: C:\windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-powershell- exe_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_c1dfa6188bf6d97b\powershell.exe

Still getting error 1812 with DISM after running SFCFix. I hope someone can help. Thanks!

Re: [W8] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Hi. The SFC scan did not come up with any file corruptions after running SFCFix. Maybe you've finally fixed it. I haven't tried running DISM because I don't want to accidentally mess up the progress you've made. I'll just wait for your next instructions. Please find the link to CBS.zip at the bottom. Thanks!

Re: [W8] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Try DISM and see what happens, although, I think there will be one more thing to fix.
 
Re: [W8] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

You're right. I tried DISM scanhealth and got error code 1812 - initialization error occurred.
Sorry if I brought this up late but in case this has some bearing on the issue, before I came to this forum, I followed some instructions from another site and used 'mofcomp.exe' to fix an error with WMI. If I recall correctly, these were the lines I entered onto the command prompt:

mofcomp.exe cimwin32.mof
regsvr32 cmwin32.dll

​
I tried these because I also noticed that System Info was not displaying the type of processor and amount of RAM installed. For reference, the link to the site is at the bottom. I also attached a screen shot of the WMI Conrol Properties showing errors. I'm really grateful for your help.

Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Hi. DISM came up with error code 1812. Can an error in the user profile also cause these problems? I noticed that there are user profiles in the registry named 'E N D' and 'MINECRAFT' as well as user folders with the same names. However, in the Win 8 log in screen, only 'EVERYONE' and 'DeadloxMC' as well as Administrator are available. There are no user folders named 'EVERYONE' and 'DeadloxMC'.

Thanks.

Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Please delete the existing CBS.log file and re-run DISM. If it fails, attach a fresh CBS.log. Interesting. I'll have a look at some point if it turns out to be related.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

I tried deleting it and a pop up said "This action cannot be completed because the file is open in TiWorker.exe". How do I delete the CBS.log file?
Thanks.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Try rebooting and try again. If it doesn't help, please run DISM again and attach the resulting CBS.log once again.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Hi. Deleting CBS.log still didn't work. I tried searching about. Could you check the article in the link below and see if I could do the steps suggested? I already have 5 of these "CbsPersist_20171125152144.cab" files in the CBS folder. 2 of them are more than 200 MB and the others are more than 15 MB in size. Thanks.

Hi, softwaremaniac. I won't be able to work on the PC during the weekends. I'll be back on Monday. Thank you for taking time to help.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

You could try that, but make sure you re-enable the service afterwards.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Yes I will try it, but not now because I'm not feeling well. Please don't close this thread yet. I'll be back in a couple of days. Thanks.
 
Re: [W8 x64] SFC unable to fix some corrupt files; DISM error code 1812. Lenovo H520s

Hi. I'm sorry it took me some time to get back to this.
I did a clean boot and was able to delete CBS.log, then I ran DISM /Restorehealth and came up with error code 1812. I restarted the PC and ran DISM again - same result, error 1812.
I've added a link to the latest CBS.txt file.
Thank you.
