    Does Sfc /scannow append new entries to CBS.Log?


    It seems to me that the well known command

    sfc /scannow .....

    appends all logmessages to a possibly already existing CBS.LOG file rather than create a new logfile.

    Is this correct?

    So if I want to have a fresh logfile just with the results from the last sfc run I have to manually delete the exiting CBS.LOG file.

    Can I somehow tell sfc to create a new logfile (e.g. CBS20170813.log) instead of appending it to the exisitng one?

    Sfc appends the new results to the CBS.log file. I do not think there is a way to not append.
