P PeterJ Moderator, Windows Update Expert, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Dec 14, 2014 Posts 12,674 Nov 15, 2021 #9 Never seen that. Did you move the file SFCFix.exe to your desktop ? Are you sure you downloaded the attachment in message #2 and saved it on your desktop ? What antivirus/security program do you use ? Edit: did you perhaps drag and drop an existing SFCFIX log file again onto SFCFix.exe ? Last edited: Nov 15, 2021

GennaroD Member Joined Nov 10, 2021 Posts 14 Nov 16, 2021 #11 I've tried every trick in the book to fix this. the CBS log shows Host is bad and I fixed it however it still comes up not fixed. Also the log states it cannot find the computer name nor the domain name. It also keeps referring to a corrupt winsock. When I first looked for help I followed the forum instructions of zipping the CBS log and sending it.
