I was having trouble all week installing updates on my computer and installing RSAT. I ran a check for Malware tool and removed some files. I was finally able to install RSAT and run most of my updates(though I dont believe it was the result of running the Malware detector) but when I tried to enable it in the Turn Windows Features On or Off window I get a blank window. I have run the Windows Update Readiness tool and it did not fix it. My CheckSur.log has the following failure:

I dont know where to go from here.

I have attached the SFCFix log as well as my CBS folder. Though the CAB files are too big to upload - let me know if you need them.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

What language is your OS?
Click to expand...

Thats a good question. It is English - verified through cmd (0409). Which is why I am surprised to see something with Chinese characters.

Thank you for getting back to me!
 
Can you please upload the following?

Can you please go the following location C:\Windows\System32\config and look for the following files:
-COMPONENTS
-Any other files that start with the word COMPONENTS
-Or any files that have a similar name to COMPONENTS (it could be spelt different, have a number, a symbol etc)
If you find any please create a folder on your desktop and copy and paste all these files into this folder.
Next can you please zip this folder -> Please name this zip file to COMPONENTS_{Insert forum username here}_{insert todays Date here}.zip For example "COMPONENTS_Go The Power_1803.Zip"
Once done, upload them for me to analyze. The file may be too big to attach to this post, please use either Dropbox or One Drive.

  1. Click on the
    Win7Orb_zps4dae3b32.jpg
    button. Inside the search box type in CMD
  2. Right click on CMD => Choose Run as Administrator
  3. Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following commands
    dir %systemroot%\System32\config >1&&notepad 1
  4. Please post the contents of the notepad file back into this thread
 
Thank you again for your help.

I have attached the notepad file and the following is a link to the dropbox files:

Thank you, it only appears to be those two keys, that was rather odd.

This will fix it up:

SFCFix Script

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

  1. Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop.
  2. Download SFCFix.zip, and save this to your Desktop. Ensure that this file is named SFCFix.zip - do not rename it.
  3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
  4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCFix.zip.
  5. Drag the file SFCFix.zip onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
  6. SFCFix will now process the script.
  7. Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
  8. Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please - put [CODE][/CODE] tags around the log to break up the text.


Please run SURT again and upload a new CheckSur.log.
