Windows10 SFC /Scannow Corruption

lkmyers1 · Feb 10, 2020

I have a Windows10 Pro laptop in a workgroup and have Microsoft Edge disabled, and ran sfc /scannow and is displaying corrupt. Its causing problems where if I copy a website favorite shortcut to the desktop that it doesn't open and displays an Edge style icon instead, if I try to open the shortcut Edge will open and close. I have attached a screenshot of the sfc /scannow as well as the CBS.log for your review. I am trying to make it that the OS is no longer corrupt, Edge is disabled, and that desktop shortcuts with a url displays in IE11. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Run this in an elevated command prompt DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Then, run the sfc /scannow again.

I would suggest doing a repair upgrade as noted here:How to: Perform a Repair Upgrade Using the Windows 10 ISO file This will update you to the latest version and clear those corruptions. You can choose to leave your files and apps in place.

Not that a repair install won't most likely work, but just using DISM might.

Please see: Britechguy's Standard "Windows 10 Revival Script"

I already discuss that there's frequently a need to run DISM if SFC can't fix something. And even if DISM does say everything's fixed, I typically run SFC again for good measure to see what it says then.

If that doesn't work then a Repair Install is definitely the way to go.
