SFCFix fails to fix "Some" corrupt files - win 8.1

dafaddah · Jul 15, 2015

I've run SFCfix twice and there remain some corrupted files.
I get a lot of "not responding" and slow operation lately and I'm trying to cure the problem.
I've attached the SCFFix.txt and the zipped CBS.log files from the second run..
Can you help me, please?

Hello dafaddah, welcome to Sysnative!

Have you run a tool to enable gpedit on your version of Windows? I'm fairly confident you have and this is what's caused the 'corruption'. Windows knows the files are tampered with, but they aren't corrupt in the normal sense and are instead patched (*) to allow gpedit to run on unsupported versions. I assume this is illegal and I can't help you with anything to do with this, but I can help you undo it if you want to.

(*) Not sure if they're patched or just copied from another version of Windows. I seem to think it's the latter.

Tom,
While I never ran any tool to enable GPEdit to the best of my knowledge, GPEDit is installed and has run (been modified) many times since I got the machine (refurbished from Gateway). Evidently it runs every time I set up or modify my HOME network so I can't see how that would be illegal.

Hi dafaddah,

Okay, thanks. This is really strange then, maybe it's just coincidence. There are various tools to enable gpedit on unsupported versions of Windows (like this) and the files affected are fd.dll, fdeploy.dll, gptext.dll and gpedit.dll. Your SFCFix log shows three of those four, hence my previous post.

I can't see any errors in the CBS log so I would like to see a new SFC scan before we go ahead and fix this:

SFC Scan

Click on the Start

button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

sfc /scannow

Wait for this to finish before you continue

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.

Tom,
I have a command prompt shortcut on my desktop so I started it that way as Administrator. Starting sfc the first time returned a message that I needed to restart the PC so I did which installed an update before restarting.
After restart I ran the sfc and it seemed to run without anything unexpected happening. I then did the file copy as you indicated. I've attached the cbs.txt file that showed up on my desktop. There was no message this time that there were no repairs.
I'm still getting slow operation an "Not Responding" sometimes.
I hope this is what you need.

Tom,
I have been working on my machine and I've installed some 8.1 updates, etc. I have also started to uninstall some stuff I don't need or use very often. SFC is no longer giving me any cannot fix messages.
Thanks for your help but I think I will continue to clean up the machine for a while before I need any assistance again.
All the best,
dafaddah

Hi dafaddah,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I've been so busy over the past few days.

The latest SFC run shows that it fixed the 3 files:

I can't see any other issues so you should be good to go, but if you run into any more problems feel free to post back here and we can look into them.

Is your computer still running slow?

Tom,
I think that after the clean up I did eliminating several Outlook addons plus other junk, disabling some FireFox stuff, installing a backlog of windows updates and powering off the PC with the plug pulled for a while things have improved 100%.
I think getting rid of iCloud had a lot to do with it, too.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello Tom,

I have the same issue with 4 "corrupted" files running SFC on Windows 10 Home. I have installed GPEDIT.msc some time ago, probably on Windows 8.1 before upgrading to 10, and I'd like to remove it (it doesn't work anyways).

How can I do?

Here my CBS.log
