[SOLVED] SFC - CBS corrupt log files

Peeta · Mar 11, 2014

Hello, I made an earlier thread in the BSOD section and was told to make a new one here by Patrick.
https://www.sysnative.com/forums/bs...ue-screen-of-death-corrupt-cbs-log-files.html

I have ran SFC /scannow and got back a result saying that I have some corrupted files in my CBS log which the scan could not fix. So far, that is as much as I've done.

"Details are incluided in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS\log." is what it says.

Attached are my CBS logs as requested in the instructions :smile9:

Hello Peeta, welcome to Sysnative!

This should fix everything:

DISM /RestoreHealth Scan

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.

Right-click on the Start

button and select Command Prompt (Admin)
When command prompt opens, Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Right-click > Paste) the following command into it, then press Enter

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC Scan

Click on the Start

button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

sfc /scannow

Wait for this to finish before you continue

copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt
This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post.

Hello Tom, Thanks for such a fast reply! I did what you've said for the RestoreHealth Scan and after performing another sfc /scannow, it says that there were no integrity problems. However, when I tried to follow your second instruction of copy and pasting to create the file, cbs.txt on my desktop. It just says "Access Denied" even when I tried it on Administrator CMD.

Hello :)

Don't worry about the Access Denied message. All that command was trying to do was upload your CBS logfiles. However, since your SFC now scans clear, and you don't have a Windows Update problem, we don't actually need to see them a second time.

You're therefore free to go back to the BSOD forum for further assistance there.
(unless you have any further questions you would like to ask me)
