    We appreciate your update. Since you're getting that message, let's try to run SFC in safe mode first and check. Safe Mode is a way for Windows to load, without loading all drivers and applications. To boot into Safe Mode, follow the steps below:

    1. Press Win + I keys to bring up the Charm Bar.
    2. Click the Power button once.
    3. Press and hold the Shift key and click the Restart icon.
    4. When the computer restarts, you should be able to see the Advanced Boot Options menu that will allow you to access the Safe Mode.

    After Windows boots into safe mode, run sfc /scannow again.

    Let us know how it went for you.

    Hi,

    The error code 0X80073712 that you're getting may occur if the Component-Based Servicing (CBS) manifest is corrupted.  You can refer to this **link**to resolve this kind of error code.
