    Thank you. The machine is about 2 years old. It runs like a clock - but sfc still reports hundreds of corrupt system files. I don't understand it either.

    So just re install windows.

    I couldn`t stand 1 corrupt file, let alone 400, there`s no reason for that.

    Too many apps, settings, data, etc.


    It would take me a year to reconstruct my setup. That's why I'm trying to avoid a clean install.

    Well I think we know where all those problems came from. You have been doing a little to much reconstructing.

    This tutorial might suite your needs.
