sfc /scannow WILL NOT function

Cmd Prompt > sfc /scannow says Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service every time I try to use it. What I have tried to do to fix this through reading this site and many others but no luck. This is what I remember trying:

safe mode start

Windows Modules Installer is at manual

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth > operation successfully completed

net start trustedinstaller>successful

chkdsk /r > typed y but it didn't work either

ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs and restart

all have failed

administrator cmd prompt says C:\WINDOWS\system32 (I have  a 64 though some programs run on 32)

I tried reinstalling 10 with keeping my programs, but the internet is too slow to get it to work even after several days of trying. I can't fresh install even if I had my disk with me. Many of my programs can't be replaced well not by me.

Have  windows 10 but updates always fail many, many, many times if they going through at all. 

I need my pc working properly and something is definitely wrong with it. I need the scan and repair to work.

If someone can help me I would really appreciate the kindness.

(1) You don't seem to use the Downloads folder. I guess your way is OK.

(2) I don't like that bugcheck. Do you get a lot of them? Those are blue screen errors. There are many threads on bugchecks that are really sad to look at. They end up checking various hardware components one after the other, swapping RAM chips, installing fans & blowing out dust bunnies. But it could just be software as well.

(3) OS Build 17763.557 was 25 quality updates ago. That's pretty far back...!...

Not sure what to suggest. Need to hit the sack.

Affinity Designer & Affinity Photo have the same hardware specs...

  • Windows-based PC (64 bit) with mouse or equivalent input device
  • DirectX 10-compatible Graphics Cards and above
  • 2GB RAM minimum (4GB RAM recommended)
  • 670MB of available space; more during installation
  • 1280x768 display size or better

And your HP Pavilion 21-h013w can handle that. And you said one of them did work fine a while. (You got the other only after problems surfaced). I think specs isn't the problem.

(1) It could be worth a shot to deal with KB4023057 as in that article I posted earlier. It could be the real troublemaker with the services it has given you. Either uninstall or fully disable it. However, other threads indicate it's a monster to deal with. It will come back & never quit trying to upgrade your computer. And it can thwart WUShowHide.

(2) Or do the dual-install I also mentioned earlier & see what happens in that. You'll have a clean 1909 (as well as that buggy 1809). Want fuller instructions?

    You can use the ISO file created by the Media Creation Tool.

    The directions says I need an ISO, I still have the MediaCreationTool1909.exe I downloaded when I tried to do a repair install last fall; is that the iso I need to install now? It took days to download-yes like a whole lot of the world I have really basic and unreliable DSL which is all that is available here.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello colemyst,

    If you like, you could try doing a repair install of Windows 10 to hopefully fix this using the method in the tutorial below without losing anything.
