And SFCFix could only fix 8 of 26.

This a Win 7 Home Premium.

Hello and welcome,

Follow the instructions below please.

WARNING! The following fix is specific to the user's system in this thread only. No one else should follow these instructions, as it could damage your system.

Download the file SFCFix.zip and save it on your desktop.
Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
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.
Attach that file to your next reply.

Thanks for the quick reply, file attached

Follow the instructions below to run a scan with the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) and provide a log.

Download SURT for your system. (Windows 7 SP1 x64)
Once downloaded, execute the installer, and go through the installation (this process can take around 15-20 minutes).
On completion, a log will be created in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log.
Attach this log to your next reply.

Alternatively, if these instructions are unclear for you, you can follow the tutorial below.

Geeze, I've been waiting way over an hour for this to complete.

Yes, that can happen. Best to be patient and let the tool do its job.

Is Avast still installed and if so, which version ?

Provide the Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to Gofile or WeTransfer and just provide the link here.

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Gofile or WeTransfer and then just provide the link in your reply.
You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.

I'm sorry @PeterJ, I forgot to post the Avast version.

23.12.6094 (build 23.12.8700.812)

PeterJ · Dec 16, 2023

No problem. Thanks for the Avast version.

Step 1:
Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.

Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
Right-click on FRST64.exe and select "Run as administrator".
Press the Fix button.
The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
Attach the logfile Fixlog.txt to your next reply.

Step 2:
Start the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) again.
On completion, attach the logfile C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log to your next reply.

billmcct · Dec 16, 2023

Sorry for the delay, files below

PeterJ · Dec 16, 2023

No need to be sorry. Just reply when its suits you.

Both files look good.
Restart the computer.
Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt and report the result.
If it fails, copy the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to your desktop.
Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

Hey, great, Seems all is good. SFC returned this. see attachment.
It seems you're the "Genius" of Sysnative.
Thanks for the help my friend.
Bill

PeterJ · Dec 17, 2023

Great and your welcome.

It seems you're the "Genius" of Sysnative.

Absolutely not, there are more or even better here at Sysnative.

Follow the instructions below to cleanup the tools and logfiles used in this thread.
Rename the file FRST64.exe to uninstall.exe and run it. This will remove all files and folders created by FRST and the tool itself.
Reboot the machine to complete.
You may remove all other tools and log files.

I'll mark this thread as solved.
Take care.

billmcct · Dec 17, 2023

I cleaned up everything yesterday.
And again THANKS for the help.
Bill
