SFC Scan provides this:

There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Restart
Windows and run sfc again.

DISM Scan provides this:

Error: 3017

The requested operation failed. A system reboot is required to roll back changes made.

SFCFix runs then gets stuck with error above

Server was rebooted this morning and errors continue

Thank you

Hi!

Please try the following command:

DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

 

[ZeroEffect]

did so and got this:


Error: 87

The /Image option that is specified points to a running Windows installation.
To service the running operating system, use the /Online option. For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /Online /?.

Thanks.

This fix will require a reboot, so don't execute it until you can reboot.

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. 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.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.


There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart
Windows and run sfc again.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Is there a file called pending.xml present?

 

[ZeroEffect]

Yes under C:\Windows\WinSxS
