Used Windows Repair now have issue
kkay:
I just used the Windows Repair for the first time. I had used it because I had corrupted files initially. I was having trouble with booting from anti virus rescue disks. I also had trouble with backups. I did a scan with sfc /scannow and it did show it fixed some corrupted files, but some it could not. So I decided to try the Windows Repair program. When I first restarted after it was over, the action center had messages. It said Windows Defender was off. If you click turn on, it takes you to a System 32 file, with folders. I have an anti-virus program, and it is running. (Eset Nod32) I also have Malwarebytes for a back up program. This issue of Windows Defender never came up before. I thought it was off, unless you didn't have an av program running. If you look at the action center flag, now it shows an X for a problem, which before it has always been white, with no warnings you could see, unless you ran over it with your mouse. I don't know yet how everything else is working. I plan to do another sfc /scannow and see what comes up. Any help would be appreciated.
I also wrote down the items Windows Repair had checked, before it started to repair them. I also saved the log, before I rebooted. I will attach that.
I ran the SFC /scannow It shows I still have corrupted files, which really didn't surprise me. But the Tweaking Registry Registry Backup did not start on it's own now. It comes up, but doesn't scan. I have to hit the Backup Now button on lower left. (the gray one) The Action Center says I have no antivirus installed. My Dell says the same thing too. ESET Nod32 is scanning as I type this. So something isn't right.
Update 1-24-14 I ran a chkdsk /scan, then a chkdsk /spotfix, then rebooted, and the spotfix ran. It was working on repairing errors before windows booted. It finished, then booted. I ran sfc /scannow again. Still showing corrupted files. I may have to repair windows with the manufacturer disk I burned. If that copy isn't corrupted, I might be alright. This copy was made after I updated at the store from Win8 to Win8.1 I highly suggested making an ISO file and use that, instead of updating at the store. Windows forced me into the 8.1 update, by graying out everything one day, BUT THE STORE UPDATE. I hope they have changed that policy by now. I don't know how to do a repair with windows dvd, but I am going to try to find out what I can on it.
Shane:
Can you post the log from the event viewer for the chkdsk? I want to see if there where any bad sectors.
In order to have chkdsk look for bad sectors you have to run the /r
chkdsk C: /r
The scan takes a long time depending on your HD size as it checks every sector. But if you do have bad sectors that would explain why you have corrupt files.
So before we dig in to much lets make 100% sure on whether or not you have bad sectors :-)

kkay:
Thank you for trying to help me. You still want me to run the chkdsk C: /r ??? The event I posted was from this morning.
Shane:
If you would yes, those other 2 chkdsk dont check for bad sectors. And the scan will take a few hours at least. But at least that way we will know for sure if a bad sector is the cause or not and if there is no bad sectors then we can move on tot he next steps :-)
Also I did find this, which may help you doing a repair install once we make sure there is no bad sectors :wink:
