SFC Errors on Win7 Pending transaction content must be resolved

cyberbob · Apr 18, 2015

Greetings,

got stuck with one desktop falling apart. Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64.
Running SFC /scannow and running the readiness tool gives no results apart from errors in CBS.txt that some files can not be repaired and
pending transactions not resolved. Windows update is not working, windows search is crashing, group policy profile stuck during startup. :huh:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Before we go any further have you spoke with your local IT department? Any issues should be looked at by them in case it changes the standard machine image.

Hello and thank you! Unfortunately I am an IT department.

And completely stuck with one very custom PC (not an image) which makes it hard to re-install it.

In that case, lets take a look :)

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.

Click on the

button. Inside the search box type in CMD
Right click on CMD => Choose Run as Administrator
Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following commands
dir %systemroot%\System32\config >1&&notepad 1
Please post the contents of the notepad file back into this thread
