Need help deciphering CBS.log for laptop issues
I've been tasked with trying to get a Dell laptop back up to speed, and have reached the limits of my technical ability. I've run the usual suspects to eliminate malware (Malwarebytes & a boot-time scan with Avast). SFC has been run numerous times (at least 6), but can't cope with whatever it has found. I've attached the last CBS log (I had to zip it). My brief glimpse of the file reveals corrupted source files, which makes sense that it can't fix it. There is one file relating to a windows update KB, and multiple instances of a corrupted driver.
One problem the laptop has shown is the inability to save changes to services.msc (I was trying to keep some of the Dell bloatware at bay while I worked). Another is it's inability to connect to the internet either wired or wifi. It does connect via USB tether with my phone. I've devoted the last several days trying to get that fixed, but have not had any luck.
I'm grateful for any and all help!
