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.

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.

https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php

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.

As you are in the USA I'm not sure why you are getting that when trying to use the MCT - I assume you are using US/English ?

Google for how do I create a win 10 iso then click on the Microsoft link which should give you a page like I get in the UK - it may be regional.

Did you run HDSentinel to see what it reported for your HDD ?

Is your clock showing the correct date and time ?

Run another sfc /scannow and regardless of what it does, download and run SFCFix.exe and post its report.

That's going to take a while to download but try the MCT again but uncheck the box for Use the recommended options for this PC to see if it will download then.

It automatically puts it in the Docs folder - I've never known why as it's a download, but it sounds like you are getting there.

I've removed your duplicate post.

If you have created the install DVD and done a repair install as I've described, then check to see that a sfc /scannow will complete.

A repair install supersedes the Windows Repair program so there'll be no need to run that.

On the rare occasion I use CCleaner's registry clean, I have the ActiveX box unchecked and it usually finds invalid firewall.

As for the missing shared DLLs, I normally get those after a factory reset and as they are classed as missing, then I will clean those.

Anyway, glad the machine is running fine and a sfc /scannow works after the repair install.
