Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and got Error: 0x80240021 The computer has 6Gb of RAM and 366Gb of free space on the system drive. I found your SFCFix program and ran it as directed. Please find the resulting CBS.zip HERE. Thanks in advance for any effort in helping me solve my friends problem.

P PeterJ Moderator, Windows Update Expert, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Dec 14, 2014 Posts 12,633 Sep 11, 2021 #4 Good start. Perform a new scan with SFC: SFC Scan Right-click the Start button and select Command Prompt (administrator). When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each. Code: sfc /scannow Wait for this to finish before you continue Code: 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. Note: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Filedropper or One Drive or WeTransfer and just provide the download link.
