Hi,

A friend's young daughter had a lot of fun turning his laptop on and off a whole bunch of times mid-boot, his machine now won't start outside safe mode.

"sfc /scannow" detects but can't fix failures. DISM can't fix it either.

CBS log attached, pertinent lines pasted below

Thanks for any assistance

Hello and welcome to the forum

I am really sorry for the delay in getting to your help request, we have been flat out in the Windows Update forum with very little helpers. My free time has been (and still is rather restricted) I will do the best to reply to you in a timely manner, but please be patient with me.

The above is the SFCerror this has originated from MSDTC.LOG. By looking at this log you currently have the compressed version of MSDTC.LOG on your machine but SFC was expecting the Non Compressed version. Have you ran any fixes to try and repair this corruption yourself?
 
Hi, thanks for the response and no worries about being busy, that's certainly something I can understand.

I've tried sfc /scannow which detects errors, but can't fix them.
I've also tried using "DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth" (which does have valid source) and that also claims to not be able to resolve the issue.
 
No worries, this should fix it up.

Actually, give me a minute. I have no idea what's just filled up the C: drive, but I'll tidy that and try the SFC run again
