[SOLVED] SFC good...but SFCFix Says This...is it a concern?

garbon · Jun 1, 2018

- As part of my regular Windows 7 Home Premium standard monthly maintenance routine, I performed SFC /scannow which came back with no issues found.

- I then ran the SFCFix utility and received this:

AutoAnalysis::
WARNING: Failed to check store directories with return code 1 and error code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. COMPONENTS hive may be corrupt.
WARNING: Components hive failed load test and may be corrupt.
WARNING: Components hive failed final reload test with error code ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD and may be corrupt.
SUMMARY: No corruptions were detected.
AutoAnalysis:: directive completed successfully.

Successfully processed all directives.
SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro has completed.
Currently storing 28 datablocks.
Finish time: 2018-06-01 12:22:37.271

Is such a report something to be concerned about?

Thanks,

In particular, why am I receiving the following message from SFCFix? :

WARNING: Failed to check store directories with return code 1 and error code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. COMPONENTS hive may be corrupt.

Hi!

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload toa file sharing service and just provide the link here.

Here is the file download link for COMPONENTS.ZIP:

I checked the hive both manually and with specialized tools and nothing jumped out at me. If you do not experience any issues, keep using the PC normally.

The message usually comes up when the COMPONENTS hive is either absent or cannot be opened properly, and that is not the case here.
