[SOLVED] Windows 7 SFC Corruption Found

[CWNoah]

I am running Windows 7 Pro 32bit. In trying to learn why my backup stopped finishing, I found a Windows 7 error 8007042B. Googling it suggested runing sfc /scannow. I did so and got:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.

I then installed and ran SFCFix. CheckSUR.log and CheckSUR.persist.log are below. CBS.log is attached. I don't know what to do next. I have a Windows 7 DVD. Help!

Hi softwaremaniac,

I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. I am disabled and not able to spend much time at my computer. Most of my time seems to be spent going to the VA or sleeping.

I did everything you told me and it appears to have worked. I got a good backup last night, too! Here is the scan results after fixing:

Sun 11-17-19 06:00 PM

C:\Users\Charlie>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Does this mean I'm out of the woods? I have some questions if you don't mind.
1. Do you have any idea what might have caused this corruption in the first place?
2. Is there any way I can prevent it happening again in the future?
3. My desktop is very full. Is it OK to move SFCFix.exe, SFCFix.zip and SFCFix.txt somewhere else (or delete them)?

You are fantastic! Thank you so much for helping me.

Charlie

Yes, you are out of the woods. It could have been a sudden power loss, a failing update or something like that. There is no way to know for certain.

MS is the one in charge, so there is no way for me to tell whether this could happen again.

Yes, you can delete the tools.

My pleasure!
