[SOLVED] Windows 8 windows update wont work Corrupt files after scf scan

ajc6882 · Mar 9, 2015

Hello. I'm new here and I'm not a computer genius. Well I have a problem with Windows 8.1Pro. Windows update wont work. It will sit for hours and do nothing. the Update window in the settings will become non responsive. I have tried sfc /scan now and I just get an error message and it says I have a corrupt file that it can't repair. I read through the forums and tried some dism commands and I just get more messages about not being able to fix the corrupt files.

Any help would be great. I would rather not reinstall windows 8.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Lets get started here by viewing the results of the SFC scan.

Export CBS folder

Right click on the

button
Click on File Explorer
Double-click on the C: drive, under the Hard Disk Drives category, and then scroll down to, and double click on the Windows folder.
Find and double click on the Logs folder.
Right-click on the CBS folder, and select Copy.
Go back to your Desktop, right-click on it, and select Paste. You should now see a copy of the CBS folder appear on your Desktop called CBS.
Right-click on this new folder, and navigate through Send to, and select Compressed (zipped) folder.
A new file, also called CBS (CBS.zip), but this time with a different icon, will be created.
Attach this to your next post please.

Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to you next post please upload via Dropbox or One Drive

Thanks

Thanks. I'm having trouble uploading the attachment. I find the folder attachment and it starts processing but nothing shows up.

i think your fix worked. Windows is almost done updating now. It's catching up after a month of issues. Thank you so much.
