Try running:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

in administrator command prompt:

Untitled.png

Then reboot & run sfc again.

It goes online to Microsoft to get what is needed to fix things.

It takes 15 minutes to an hour to finish.

Thank you for the info.

Maybe it just reports errors & can't fix them.

I only use it to see if there are any problems & then run the DISM command to actually fix things.

I see, i didnt knew that DISM si the tool that can actually fix things, but i have to say that many times SFC /SCANNIOW not only check for system files integrity but also can repair them to initial state.

This is the first time that i noticed that it cannot rapir them.

That is just my experience with sfc.
I've never seen it fix anything.
But, I very seldom have problems anyway. :)

I get infected very easily, thats why i bought STOPzilla AVM 2013, it cleaned the system but due to corrupted system files it continuoiusly finds malware. So, i guess a virus/malware corrupted my system files?

Mayve its because i run the Start Menu 8 toi bring the old start button back?

Were you using your browser while it was running ?

If so, try it with it shut down.
Close any open applications.
Don't do anything until it finishes.

I've got Classic Shell & a Start button.
That should have nothing to do with it.

By the way, I just ran sfc & it actually fixed something.
It's never done that before:

I don't know either.
Maybe a reboot would help.
Maybe someone else will pitch in & offer advice.
I hope so.

I hope so.

The SFC /scannow function worked for me after asking me to schedule it for next restart, but crashes my computer at 20% (ALWAYS) after 2-4 hours.

It sucks, and I can only use safe mode right now due to me bluescreening from registry errors.
