repair not working, even in safe mode

also, when i ran system file checker it found errors, even after format and install of windows,  but i was prevented from looking at them- access denied.

Is the CPU usage active - that will tell you if the program is still working or is hung.

When a sfc /scannow finds errors it is unable to repair then copy & paste the following cmd and press enter.

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log > %userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

This will place an icon onto the desktop which when double clicked will open the CBS log in Notepad with what it could and was unable to repair.

For a more condensed report, download and run SFCFix.exe and copy & paste its report into your reply box.

This can sometimes repair where a sfc /scannow is unable to.

This needs to be run immediately after a sfc /scannow as the CBS log can be volatile.

If the machine is working okay then you can usually ignore anything a sfc /scannow says it has failed to repair.

When you run Windows Repair in Safe Mode with Networking as advised, there's no need to disable your antivirus program as it won't be loaded in that mode.

Windows Firewall takes over in that mode but Windows Repair will disable that as well, but your computer will remain safe.

problem was , i wasn't running in safe mode with networking. tried that and ran it twice. should be ok now, hopefully. will try and get details on sfc.

said it could not open still on the first suggestion (sfc). and on the second it said it couldn't update and did nothing. said it could be due to an internet connection problem or temp prob with servers. will check again at a
 later time.

thank you,
Nick

Boggin:
From your last post do I understand that the CBS log wouldn't open in Notepad after applying that cmd ?

Does the Internet/server problem relate to Windows Repair or SFCFix.exe ?
