System File Checker (SFC)
Follow the instructions below to run a SFC scan on your system and to provide the CBS log in your next reply;
  • On Windows Vista & 7, click on the Windows Start Menu, then enter cmd in the search box, right-click on the cmd icon and select
    Spcusrh.png
    Run as Administrator
  • On Windows 8, drag your cursor in the bottom-left corner, and right-click on the metro menu preview, then select Command Prompt (Admin);
  • On Windows 8.1, right click on the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner and select Command Prompt (Admin);
  • Enter the command below and press on Enter;
    Code:
    sfc /scannow
    Note: There's a space between "sfc" and "/scannow";
  • Once the scan is complete, enter the command below and press on Enter
    Code:
    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
  • A file called cbs.txt will have appeared on your Desktop. Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive and post the download URL for it here;
Note: Please note that the CBS.log is volatile, which means that if you don't upload it after the SFC scan is completed, it won't have the information from the scan anymore. So archive it and upload it as soon as you can.
 
I tried to run it but it giving me this error "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation." :s6:
 
Can you run it again, wait until the error message appears, and still upload the CBS.log file for me so I can see why it cannot run the scan? :)
 
Do you mean I have to run sfc /scannow again for the error message then go to logs folder and upload "CBS.log" right? My CBS.log is about 1.5GB, is that the right file?

Yes that's it :) If you want, you can rename it to CBS_old.log and run SFC again, it'll create a new one which will be less big.
 
It looks to me that it's still a 1.5GB file :/ Is it possible to rename the CBS.log to something else, run a new SFC scan, and make sure that the new CBS.log that will be created have a smaller size?
 
All good :) Alright, follow the instructions below please.
