Corrupted Files sfc on Win7 cannot fix

kewilcox · Mar 5, 2016

Ran sfc /scannow in administrator command prompt.
Had four files that unable to fix.
Ran SFCfix and still was unable to correct corrupted files.
Can you provide a SFCfix.zip that can replace the corrupted files?View attachment SFCFix (2016-03-04 21'54'47.306).log

Followed directions.
Attaching SFCfix.txt
However; After reboot I attempted to launch Windows Media Player. Still got error.
I then ran as administrator sfc /scannow
It came back with corrupt files message.
Attaching CBS.log zipped.
Have stopped there. Awaiting your guidance. Will run chkdsk to verify drive has no errors.

First off please forgive my manners for not thanking you for your assistance.
It is truly appreciated.
I did run chkdsk on the C: drive and it came back clean.
I followed the instructions and ran the second SFCFix.zip.
Rebooted the computer, opened an Administrator command prompt and ran sfc /scannow.
Below are the results:

C:\windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After I finished my happy dance I tested some of the applications like Windows Media Player that didn't work before.
Most but not all are working.
Since there are no corrupt system files, is it safe to assume that any programs that are still not working will need to be reinstalled?
I'm attaching the SFCFix.txt (renamed to SFCFix002.txt) and CBS.log zipped (Renamed to CBS002.zip)
Thank you again for your assistance.

Also what are the proper procedures to go through now to get a good backup/copy of the system files so in case this happens again I can fall back on it?

Aura · Mar 8, 2016

If your Windows Media Player is crashing and both SFC and SURT return no errors, I doubt that this is caused by corrupt system files :) Which programs aren't working exactly?

And the good procedure would be to get a Windows 7 x64 RTM and SP1 .iso, so you can use them with SFC to source clean copies of files, but that will only work if the corrupt files are from the RTM and SP1 version of Windows. Any files coming from updates (KBs), won't be present in these .iso.
