I have a Acer Laptop with windows 8 64 bit and have had Usb issues with some devices. I tried running SFC and it stops at the same place each time saying it cant continue. The log file list files that have been verified but no errors

Any ideas?

I was trying to avoid doing a repair because it said i would lose all the installed programs. If i was going that far i think i would put xp64 or vista 64 on it

EDIT--This is not true.Even though it says it won't affect your programs, it does.I tried it today & lost a bunch of downloaded programs.Microsoft needs to change the wording. :(

you meant "Refresh" instead of "Repair", correct?

Yes, but after reading other posts it seems the "refresh" will remove some installed programs.

EDIT--- I edited my previous post.Microsoft got it wrong...I lost programs,which was a pain in the neck.

I was thinking of the old repair install of XP.
It bugs me when I mess up information.
I apologize.
But,there is something you could try before a refresh.

Open an Administrator Command Prompt & type in:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

at the blinking cursor & press Enter.

It takes a while to finish.

Then run sfc /scannow.

Post back your results.

I tried this myself & it fixed things sfc /scannow could not fix. :)

There's nothing mysterious about CheckHealth and RestoreHealth. The feature existed before as CheckSUR for the purpose of checking and fixing the component store corruptions, but now it's a part of Windows 8. For this very reason, this is not a replacement for SFC that fixes corrupt system files. Actually, it's recommended to run SFC first, then RestoreHealth.

Joseph also wrote a white paper named 'Understand and Troubleshoot Servicing in Windows Server “8” Beta' at the time, so you can google it with some luck.
 
Thanks. I realise it's been around for ages, but with me at least, it's a question of remembering all these assorted commands. Much like Microsoft expecting Windows 8 users to immediately memorize 1000 or more keyboard shortcuts in order to get around 8 expeditiously - in other words not possible for the average Joe.
 
Well, it hasn't been around for ages, because the current component store architecture was introduced only in Vista. And nobody remembers all console commands. This is what built-in console help, google and... forums are for :)
