I ran your sfc /scannow and gets to 21% and quits says it found corrupt files and  unable to fix some of them.I have ran your windows repair 3 times.Now what I don't know what to do,Thanks for any help......Scott

Which version of Windows are you using as there could be other tools you could use, but perform a chkdsk /r to check if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.

You can view its log in Event Viewer by going Start - type eventvwr and press enter when it comes up.

When it has read the data, expand Windows Logs - click on Application - Action/Find and type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.

Cancel the Find box and read the log in the scrollable window below.

You can post its log if you want by then clicking on Copy/Copy details as text in the lower right pane then right click in the reply box and select Paste.

If it does report bad sectors then you will need to create a full system image onto external media ASAP before the HDD finally fails.

I ran your chkdsk scan it took 2 hours to run but no errors.I also ran supportAssit found no errors.Found nothing when I scan Event view (chkdsk or wininit) Also I'am using windows 10 Pro on an Alienware Area-51 i7 960 3.2GHz 12GB RAM  GeForceGTX 770 I did run and sfc /scannow  same 21% and quit.Again thanks for the help...Scott

Normally when a sfc /scannow quits it's usually a sign of HDD failure.

Can you download the trial version of HDSentinel to see what it reports.

Download the Trial v5.30 (ZIP) and uninstall it when done which will stop the clock on the 30 day trial and then you can use it again as and when.

If that comes back clean then I would suggest first these cmds -

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

and follow that with another sfc /scannow to see if it still fails.

The next step would be to perform a repair install which doesn't affect your personal stuff or installed programs.

For this you will need Win 10 install media which you can create after reading the instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

When you've done that, open Windows Explorer - This PC - insert the install media and double click on its drive.

This will start the process when using a DVD but will open to the files when using an USB where you would then double click on setup Application.
