[SOLVED] Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit - SFC and SFCFix errors

[wcampbell]

I successfully installed the two updates you recommended, and only those two, and restarted the computer as it requested.

Great. Are there any remaining issues ?

 

[wcampbell]

I haven't run another SFC /scannow yet; is it time to do that?

I never had any problems with Windows Update itself.

I was just getting SFC errors.

Yes, you may do that just to be sure there are no issues left.

"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

!!!!

Well, something sure seems better!

I will set a restore point now.

What I wanted to do was find compatible versions of the four bad files (fde.dll, fdeploy.dll, gpedit.dll and gptext.dll) and replace them.

They all had the original install dates (2014), so I figured that they haven't been modified since, other than being corrupted.

But I had no luck locating replacement files.

In a nutshell, what was the general issue?

Was Windows Update not being allowed to fix problems?

Thank you very much!

Where can I find a donation link to send some $ through PayPal?

Great.

4 files got corrupted somehow and are replaced. What caused this is unknown.
Also some remnants of a previous AVG version are removed.
Windows Update does not fix these kind of issues.
