[SOLVED] MSDTC.LOG corrupt - CBS and SFCFix.txt attached

Hi Brian,
Yes, my problem is still there.
My problem is about System Protection, error 0x81000203, although the two required services are automatic and active.
I have been advised to run SFC /scannow and, as it notified uncorrectable errors, to use SFCFix.
 
OK, no problem. Let's see what we can do. Please start with the following.

Step#1 - 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. If you still have this on your desktop from downloading previously, you don't need to re-download.
  2. Download the file below, SFCScript.txt, and save this to your Desktop.
  3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
  4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCScript.txt.
  5. Drag the file SFCScript.txt 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.

2. Right-click on the file (VEW.exe) and select Run as administrator.
3. Check the options as shown below and put 20 in for the number of events.
4. Click Run. After a few moments, notepad will open with the contents of the Event Logs. Please copy and paste these in your next post. Thank you.

Thank you. Please do the following.

Step#1 - Run Windows Repairs
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 Windows Repair (All-in-One) Portable to your desktop.
2. Once the file is downloaded, right-click on the file on your desktop and choose Extract All...


Extract.JPG

3. Keep the defaults and click the Extract button.
4. A folder named tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio will be extracted to the desktop. Once the extraction is complete the folder will open.
5. Inside this folder, there is a folder named Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. Open this folder as well.

6. Double-click on Repair_Windows.exe to open. Note: Please make sure all of your programs are closed and anything you were working on is saved as we will be rebooting.
7. When the program opens, click the Reboot to Safe Mode button at the bottom of the screen. Answer Yes to allow.
8. Once rebooted into Safe Mode, open the program again. When the program opens, click the Repairs tab and click the Open Repairs button.
9. A backup of your registry will be made. After a few moments you will have many options from which you can choose.
10. Please click the Unselect All button and then click to enable only the following ones:

04 - Register System Files
05 - Repair WMI
10 - Remove Policies Set By Infection
14 - Remove Temp Files
15 - Repair Proxy Settings
17 - Repair Windows Updates
21 - Repair MSI (Windows Installer)



11. Ensure the Restart check box is selected and click the Start Repairs button in the lower right of the screen. This may take some time to run so be patient.

12. Once the fixes are complete you will be prompted to restart your machine. Answer Yes.
 
I'll do it tomorrow. I have already used Tweaking.com AIO in the past.
I'm cautious about using Safe mode: from experience, reverting w8.1 to normal mode has been somewhat tricky.
 
Hi Brian,

Done, in safe mode under the Admin account.
Logs attached.
Unfortunately, System Protection is still KO, error 0x81000203
