Attaching a .zip with the log located on C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and results from a Farbar scan.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Please do the following first..

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

• Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
• Press the Fix button.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
• When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Hey there, appreciate you looking into this! Here's the fixlog, thanks.

Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Awesome! Dism and SFC ran perfectly afterwards and my pc is booting normally now.

Found this at the end of the SFCFix log file, don't know if it's relevant or not:

Failed to generate a complete zip file. Upload aborted.

Appreciate the help! Will definitely donate
