Win. 10 Repair/Replace Corrupted Files
Boggin:
When you boot up with the install disk you will be momentarily prompted to press any key to boot from CD/DVD.
Use the dropdown to change/confirm the Time and currency format then click on Repair your computer down on the left.
You may get an alert pop up to say that you have booted up with an install disk to perform a custom install, but if you just want to perform a repair install, then boot up Windows normally and then insert the disk - or words to that effect.
If you do then just proceed as for a custom install and then click on Repair your computer.
After clicking on Repair your computer click on Troubleshoot then on Command Prompt and enter that cmd - without the underscores.
BretMan:
I've been following your last instructions relative to your message #3. The disk is in D: and is booted to D: and I'm at the CMD window and have entered "bcdedit_|find_"osdevice" and "sfc_/scannow_/offbootdir=D:\_/offwindir=D:\Windows" without the quotes or underscores. I'm getting "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."
The prompt shows "x:\sources>", not the usual C: . Am I supposed to change the X: to D:, C: or anything else? If so, how?
Boggin:
No, the x: prompt is the one you use.
I'm not sure if these cmds will work outside of Windows but give them a go - you would normally get a success message after the first one, but enter them and if they don't return any errors then try the sfc /scannow cmd again.
sc config trustedinstaller start=auto
net start trustedinstaller
BretMan:
Thanks for the suggestions. Before I tried them, I've been searching for solutions and I found this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL_AvTLnchU which describes what we've been trying. At about 1/2 way through the short video you can see in the offboot CMD he's starting with D:, not X: so I tried that and it still didn't work out. He also ran D:>dir which gave him a list of several files on his disk. I did they same and just got one file. However, I checked the disk via local Windows Explorer and it's got all the files and folders it's supposed to have and 4.1G full. Weird, although maybe it has to do with his Win 7, vs my Win 10?
I tried your latest commands and I got "Success" for the first one and " ...was started successfully." for the second one. I tried them in local Windows C: CMD and sfc /scannow resulted in "...unable to fix some ...." as usual. Also tried local D:, then off boot disk in both x: and d: . There the first two were "successful" but then the sfc /scannow resulted with "...could not start the repair service". Also tried the " sfc scannow /offbootdir=D:\ /offwindir=D:\windows in c:, d: and x: and all resulted with "... could not start repair service."
I have a suggestion. The CBS log I posted a few messages ago listed the 4 corrupted files I'm trying to replace, correct? These:

Can they be manually and individually replaced with healthy ones? I recently read but cannot find now, an Microsoft post on how to do this. It involves having a separate PC and copying the needed files from it, then transferring them to the problem PC. Is this possible? I also found this:http://www.askvg.com/right-click-replacethis-free-portable-utility-to-replace-system-files-in-windows-7/ which is related, as well as this:http://www.technixupdate.com/delete-replace-system-files-in-windows/ . It's the same app but if it works for Win 7 with the same Trusted Installer feature in Win 10, would it do what I need?
Boggin:
You could try it but I'd be inclined to register and open a thread in the www.sysnative.com forum, posting your CBS and SFCFix.exe logs where they will probably be able to upload the manifest files for you - which I've seen them do for others.
