[SOLVED] Problems after Windows Updates - SFC scans find unrepairable files

[bkosty]

Hey there. I am having a problem after some windows updates on a Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition Terminal Server. I have tried all the basics so far and looking for some expert help.

.NET errors, RD Session errors, and other misc software issues. Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition.

sfc scans keep finding/fixing the same errors it seems. tls_branding_config.xml && LServer_PKConfig.xml

Seems to be similar to these posts
SFC reporting hash mismatch for files LServer_PKConfig.xml & tls_branding_config.xml
[SOLVED] - SFC and DISM both failed
[SOLVED] - LServer_PKConfig.xml Hash Mismatch - sfc/scannow

SFC found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
DISM command results in "The source files could not be found."
Logs are attached.
Appreciate your help!

Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the System File Checker and the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

SFC /Scannow
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Attached is the .txt file from SFCFix.

The SFC scan ran and did not find any integrity violations.

DISM ran and The restore operation completed successfully.

Still having some software problems but will try some restarts and updates and review closer.

Thanks alot for your help again!

I restarted the server, ran updates and restarted again. SFC scans are still failing and reporting unable to fix. The DISM tool runs and also fails. Attached are the new CBS logs.

DISM

"[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found.."

Yes. We can assume this SFC issue is resolved for now. I was able to run the scan again the next day and it still passes without error. Thanks again!
