    SFC Scan Not Working


    Hi. I am trying to scan my system using SFC but it does not seem to work.

    Code:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
    Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    
    C:\Users\(USER)>sfc /scannow
    
    Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.
    
    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 9% complete.
    
    Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
    It shoots up to 9% instantly every time then stops, does anyone know a solution?

    Did you open up an elevated command prompt and execute the command in it?

    All the hits I get for this problem via Google eventually end up being fixed by a Repair Install. Maybe save yourself time and aggravation and give it a try???
