    Try to runAdmin tools-Microsoft Management console has stopped working


    I can’t run the Component services, Computer Mgmt, event viewer, Local Security Policy, task scheduler, Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, Windows PowerShell Modules from Administrative tools, because it requires MMC-Microsoft Mgmt Console, which doesn’t work anymore. I can’t run them from the start menu either.


    Data Sources, iSCSI Initiator, Performance Monitor, Print Mgmt, Services, System Configuration, Windows Memory diagnostic work.



    I’m not sure when this problem started. The same problems exist when logged in as Administrator.

    Microsoft Management console has stopped working.



    -Ran system file checker: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
    System File Checker said Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations.

    I ran Malwarebytes and Avast Anti-virus. It didn’t find anything major.

    Scanned Boot disk for viruses using rescue boot CDs:
    -BitDefender Rescue CD 2010
    -Avira AntiVir Rescue System
    -Kaspersky Rescue CD 2010

    It found some threats for already quarantines files, some threats in old emails on boot disk-not location of current email directory on D drive, some in temporary internet files, deleted some java files.

    I’m reluctant to do a repair install to fix windows 7 to potentially make things worse, have to re-install device drivers, etc.

    I ran a new SFC scan in a command prompt Run as administrator
    sfc /scannow

    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
    Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
    C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails2.txt
    That worked. I've attached the log file showing the errors.

    Did you run the SFC 3 times as suggested?

       Note
    If SFC could not fix something, then run the command again to see if it may be able to the next time. Sometimes it may take running the sfc /scannow command 3 or more times to completely fix everything that it's able to.


    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    See if you can access them through Safe Mode

    Safe Mode

    If so, try to perform a clean start to see if an application is interfering

    I ran SFC 4x, each time it couldn’t fix the errors for the same files.
    In safe mode, the same Windows applications won’t start.

    If you navigate to C:\windows\System32\mmc.exe , and click on it...what happens? Nothing? An error is generated? I would be recommending a repair install if you did not specifically say you'd rather not do one (and make it easy )

    The sound service wouldn't start later either. My hard disk started failing (bad boot sectors) and likely caused the OS corruption. I finally got a new same size boot disk and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7. All those problems are thus resolved.

    Good to hear it. Eventually there are diminishing returns in fixing problems when the underlying foundation is damaged. A Guy
