    Need sfc /scannow Help


    So I love the sfc /scannow command, but usually when I run it on a computer, it will say it found errors but couldn't fix them, probably because the computer is using them. So I tried on one computer to boot into the recovery console and run the command, but it just says a repair is already pending and the computer needs to reboot.

    How can I use the sfc /scannow command to fix Windows files without having to do a repair install?

    Thanks

    Welcome
    The SFC command is limited to what it can fix. If errors are found and not fixed, run the SFC several more times. If they are not repaired SFC cannot fix them.
