Once the sfc scannow is done, I will.
It's done, but it looks like there's more corrupted files:
Attachment 264499
Enough for the .txt file to be 3 MB.
I'll post the results of booting in Safe Mode in a few minutes.
indeed more errors now. Not very important stuff though.
But how come... that's the question(?)
Things don't get corrupted if not even booting (although you did in safe mode).
Check for virusses offline What is Windows Defender Offline?
Also boot into advanced boot options and do a memory check Memory Diagnostics Tool
Also make a backup of all your data on C #16
After boot in safe mode:
it really stalls, or keeps the circle animation animate all the time? Is there disk activity then (watch the disk light on laptop)?
After about ten minutes, Windows Defender Offline stalls. The "time elapsed" counter stops going, as does the "items scanned" counter, and I can't cancel the scan, but the shimmering bar animation does not freeze up.
There are also small bursts of disk activity (disk loading sounds, and light is lit up), with about four second intervals, while WDO is stalled.
Kaktussoft is off line at this time.
I would just let it run for a while. Sometimes it will appear stalled but will still be working.
