    sfc /scannow corrupted files problem


    Hello, I've been updating this Lenovo laptop for a couple of days now. All windows updates are up to date, however when I ran sfc /scannow, it shows that there are still corrupted files.

    This is my CBS log from the scan. (half of which I don't understand...)
    Attachment 400165

    My main question is: What do I have to do to repair the corrupted files?

    Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

    Hi Nkyoss,

    The only problem appears to be Notepad, i know MS has been playing around with it.

    If you can use it, you can safely ignore the reported corruptions.

    If NOT please run SURT, KB947821.
    post the results,

    @torchwood, Thanks for the help. There's no problem with my Notepad so I'll just let it be. :)

    However, on another note... I did some research of my own when I first encountered the scannow problem, I also read somewhere about using SURT to repair the problem. Whereas, I didn't have it so I tried to install it manually several times before your advice but with no luck.

    Should I worry about this?

    I just did more research on how to use SURT. My mistake in thinking it was an update. The CheckSUR log I ran today says no errors detected, so I guess my problem is solved!

    Thanks for your help!
