[SOLVED] DISM stuck at 40, SFC Found corrupt files, could not fix some of them

Firebright · Apr 12, 2016

I've been having some problems with the sfc /scannow checker in Command Prompt. When it runs, I get the error that while corrupt files were found, it was unable to fix some of them. Running DISM works until 40%, where it gets stuck, even overnight. Reading other posts I've heard this could be because the corrupt files are ones needed to run DISM in the first place, (Thus the freeze). I've attached my CBS log. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Good :) Let's run SFC again to see if the replacement is accepted.

System File Checker (SFC)
Follow the instructions below to run a SFC scan on your system and to provide the CBS log in your next reply;

On Windows Vista & 7, click on the Windows Start Menu, then enter cmd in the search box, right-click on the cmd icon and select

Run as Administrator
On Windows 8, drag your cursor in the bottom-left corner, and right-click on the metro menu preview, then select Command Prompt (Admin);
On Windows 8.1, right click on the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner and select Command Prompt (Admin);
Enter the command below and press on Enter;
Code:
```
sfc /scannow
```
Note: There's a space between "sfc" and "/scannow";
Once the scan is complete, enter the command below and press on Enter
Code:
```
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
```
A file called cbs.txt will have appeared on your Desktop. Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;

Note: Please note that the CBS.log is volatile, which means that if you don't upload it after the SFC scan is completed, it won't have the information from the scan anymore. So archive it and upload it as soon as you can.

It looks good! My CBS log was too large to attach, but the problem seems to be gone. Thanks for your help, Aura!
