SFCFix running as administrator crashes on windows server 2016 essential.

Do you have a solution?
Thanks.

here is the content of the log file.

Thanks for replying.

For a few weeks now the server's CPU has been working at a too high percentage for no reason.
To find the cause, I started by checking the system files.

[ sfc /scannow ] finds corrupted files but cannot perform the corrections.
[ DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth ] crashes and returns no results.
[ DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth ] also crashes without any results.
See attached screenshot.

[ SFCFix version 3.0.2.1 ] the first time it was run it completed step 1 and 2, during step 3 it closed unexpectedly.

Now it always returns the log file I posted.

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.
 
The file seems clean.
Copy all files in the folder C:\Windows\Logs\CBS to your desktop.
Zip them and attach the zipfile to your next reply. If the zipfile is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Gofile and provide the download link.
 
Yes, it did.
Follow the instructions below please.

Step 1:
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

    SFCFix and move the executable to your desktop.
  • Download the attachment 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.

Step 2:
Restart the machine.
Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated commandprompt 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.

The log shows you tried to use a CBS.zip as a script file which failed.
Please redo Step 1 in my previous post, using the attachment in that post.
 
Well done this time.

Restart the machine.
Run the command Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an elevated commandprompt 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.
 
I ran "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" and this time it completed successfully.
Anche "SFC /scannow" รจ stato completato con successo senza errori.
I still have problems on my server.
For example "windows disk cleanup" is not even run from "CMD" and yet it appears among the active processes, but no interface is visible.
 
Try again after a restart of the server.
