It's not listed as one of the installed programs. I'm guessing I might have installed it a few years back and deleted it, though not 100%.
Yes I should pay more attention when I install something. I always go with "recommended" installation and that seems to install unwanted programs as well.
Bumping the thread for solution.
It is possible that auto-chkdsk was caused an anomaly but it's proof that Windows caught an NTFS error. These are normally caused by turning off the PC without using Windows "Shutdown" or by an electrical power interruption. Either of these should have placed a Kernel Power entry into the Event Log.
I noticed Opera showing up in one of the chkdsk logs so I wonder how you "deleted" it. Did you use Window's Uninstall or simply try to delete files? There may have been a component of Opera running at the time that wouldn't have been deleted and it caused a file error attempting some operation.
Another cause could be that you have not installed SP1 to Windows. It contained some critical updates to the HAL and the NTFS components of Windows. This is a must have!
Then there's the disk itself. I would check with the OEM and see if there's been a firmware update for it.
The error in the SFC log has nothing to do with KB3022345 - instead it's this...

I wasn't aware that there were files in the ASP system directed at specific browsers! - but it'spart of the OS and nothing to do with any potential/actual install of Opera.
I'll post a fix for that last in a short while.
I've uploaded a file - a96aa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)
Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.
Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
At the prompt type
DIR C:\a96aa
hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
DIR D:\a96aa
or
DIR E:\a96aa
The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...
XCOPY <drive>:\a96aa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h
(e.g. XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )
run the command (it should take almost no time) and when the prompt returns, type
EXIT
and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.
Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your reply
Yes there were random hang which I had to restart by using reset button. I've mentioned this in my previous posts which, changed my initial problem to having this one.
Unfortunately I have no idea how I deleted/uninstalled Opera as it was long time ago.
Thank you very much for the solution.
Just before I go on, I've made a "change" before seeing your post and as a result, I'm not sure if I should proceed with your solution or not.
Last night, I ran and installed Windows hotfix (KB947821) on two instances: one where I accidentally pressed "cancel" during installation and the other one being successfully installed. I can see two logs being displayed in the update history with one showing "failed" and the other one showing "successful".
Afterwards I ran sfc/scaannow and all of the sudden I'm not getting corrupted result instead I'm getting "... did not find any integrity violations." result. I ran the scan three times in a row as well as ran it between restarts/shut down which, all of them yielded same clean result. I've attached a log for these results.
All in all, I was about to post this news in the following days as I was planning to run sfc/scannow on multiple occasions to make sure if I get the original inconsistent result/consistent opera result or not.
With that being said do I go on with your fix? There's also an restore point before I installed the hotfix if necessary.
Interesting!
Please post the CheckSUR.log file and CheckSUR.Persist.log file from the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder.
