Having some problems,not sure if this is the right place to post.

On boot up I was getting "unable to locate C\windows\system32\configsystemprofile\desktop" after "preparing your desktop"
in my user account that has been active for months

I ran sfc 4 or 5 times with restarts after each scan and I still have files that sfc can't fix.
From what I have read "this is not good"
System seems to be working fine now so far
What are my options here?
I have no installation disc but I do have a recovery partition

Thanks

It depends on what files.

Most of the time, SFC finds files pertaining to fonts, speech, and Group Policy with mismatched hashes.

SFC always has a problem trying to fix these. For virtually everyone, this is not a problem. They do not affect day-to-day operation.

For those of you that have to have it perfect, the solution for repair is a nightmare of length, complication, and tediousness.

No crashes; boots okay; no freezes - my advice -let it be, like the Beatles song.

Rather than SFC, a CHKDSK run would better fix your problem.
Right-click your "C" drive - Properties - Tools - Error Checking. Check off both boxes (the surface check is a good idea to do every six months or so); Apply or OK out to reboot and have the pass done during bootup. If the h/d or ssd is large, this will take a while. Make a phone call to a loved one.

Ran chkdsk before the sfc scans but it stopped right away.Checked the log in event viewer and it had deleted corrupt attribute records and a few other things.
Is it ok to post the log here? not sure what I'm looking at

Try running CHKDSK again.

The files that scf is showing are
source file in store is also corrupted

Again, if your day-to-day computer activities are not compromised, don't worry.
