Hey there!
So I've been down this rabbit hole and I ended up here. Sorry for my ignorance, as I don't know a lot about computers!
For the last year or so I've been getting BSOD crashes pointing to system drivers, often nothing specific at all. I tried repairing my Windows installation the usual ways, but it kept crashing during the repair and reverting the changes back. Same for, Windows Update - it crashes when I try to update, so I've been stuck on build 19045.3803 for a while now. So naturally I tried doing all the SFC and DISM commands the various internet results told me to, and I ended up falling on the "Source files not found" error when trying to repair my Windows image. Then I learned about SFCFix, which also failed, but then I saw a lot of people having success here, and how the CBS.log would tell me what was missing/corrupted.
Well, to my surprise I opened the CBS.log and I was surprised to see the staggering amount of 617 CBS Manifest Corruptions (working hard to one-up the thread before me). Oddly enough, a lot of those missing files are for older Windows builds, so I'm not sure at all what's happening here. I read the guide teaching how to fix those corruptions by grabbing the files from a VM install, but it's such a huge number of files that I'm not even sure how to start tackling that, or if I have the willpower to.
My system is fairly stable during normal use, though it crashes a bunch when booting (it gets there eventually) and when running more demanding games/software. Considering how it's been failing to repair Windows, I'm afraid of attempting a Clean Install and ending up with no OS at all. Since I use this computer for work, I'm trying as much as possible to avoid having to send it to repair, so any help I can get here would be immensely appreciated!
The requested files are attached below. Thanks!
