Corrupt Windows files, do i need to worry?

Hi all,
A few Google Searches brought me to this forum :) I hope this is the right sub-forum.

I recently re-installed windows 8.1 on a new SSD. (Completely from scratch, old Windows drive was unplugged)
A program required NetFrameWork 3.5, but Windows failed to install it. The following Google Search suggested that some files may be corrupt.

I ran sfc /scannow and some errors were found (Log attached).
As far as I saw, it concerns 8 files, most of them Windows Defender stuff.

I tried to repair with DISM.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This yielded another error “The Source Files could not be downloaded”

I tried to manually specify source and tried to set it to download through windows update in group policy editor.
Also tried to use my old Windows installation and a Win8 ISO as source
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:X:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
But nothing, always the same error. Log attached

After a few Days and a few reboots, the NetFrameWork 3.5 would install without a problem. But the sfc /scannow still yields errors and reports corrupt files.


  1. Do I need to worry? Windows itself runs absolutely stable.
  2. I also experience a strange problem with my network printer since I re-installed windows. When I try to add and install the printer through “Devices and Printers” I get the error “Could not install the printer” The Handle is Invalid”. An HP Forum suggested this could be due to corrupt (windows) driver files. Never had this Problem on 10+ other computers in my Home network. Maybe a coincidence, but maybe it is connected to the above?


Any help would be greatly appreciated! :huh:

Your OS indeed has some corrupt files and missing files.

Tried all these commands? If not I suggest in this order.
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
sfc/scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc/scannow

thanks for the reply!

Well, i already tried those commands in that order and i just tried them again. Still no luck.

The first command yields an "success"output , but the following scan finds the same corrupt files. The second command generates a "The Source Files could not be found" output. :huh:

Attached a txt with the full CMD output

Edit: I looked at some more threads in the forum, apparently a lot of people have problems like this currently. I tried some more of the suggested solutions, found out that i have to convert esd-files to wim-files to use them as source. Did that, tried once again. Still "source files could not be found" :(
