    Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested Operation


    In working through the triage tree to fix a windows update error (updates wouldn't install), I got the dreaded "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation" while attempting sfc /scannow.



    I've tried every single one of the fixes I can find to this error, safe mode, fixing permissions etc. According to the triage tree I am following, the next step is reinstall the OS.



    Is that true, a reinstall my only option? Are there any good tools to preserve all the user data and programs on the corrupted Windows 7 Machine.



    This machine is part of a Server 2012 domain if that is relevant.
