Constant Windows 8.1 issues

angrygamer · Feb 14, 2015

I've only had this thing for 3 months, and up until the 8.1 update (it came with Win8), it worked perfectly fine. But then Windows 8.1 update got "stuck" and I lost 100 GB of space seemingly overnight, not knowing what happened. I ended up finding the file with directions and was told to delete it, which seemed to un-stick the update, since it actually went through the whole process of updating. Since then, I've had so many issues, and I can't even remember every single one of them at this point.

The biggest one happened randomly today, after my computer seeming perfectly normal. I was suddenly told, out of the blue, to activate Windows. I did a scan and got this:

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. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios.

I tried doing the scans listed here, but not a single one worked aside from scannow:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them [Solved] - Laptops - Windows 8

I've uploaded CBS, I hope I did it right. Honestly I've had so many issues with different computers over the last year that my brain is practically broken from all of this. I can't afford to replace this computer, and I'm going to seriously lose it if it turns out that that's my only option. I'm really desparate here.
