Please run the following commands

DIR %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
ICACLS %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
ATTRIB %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames

and post the output.

Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

Hmm - PendingRenames is supposed to be a folder, not a file!
Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

Code:

 
 DEL %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
 MD %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
 ICACLS %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames /grant TrustedInstaller:(OI)(CI)(F) SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(RX) Users:(OI)(CI)(RX) 
  
 .

post the results, then reboot twice (with at least 20 minutes between reboots).

Run another SFC /SCANNOW, and post the new CBS folder

OK - I goofed :)

Yes the pop-up is expected and you should answer Yes to it - if it doesn't appear then you would seen to be running with UAC disabled.

Here's the proper commands....

Code:

 
 TAKEOWN /F %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
ICACLS %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames /grant Administrators:(F)
 DEL %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
MD %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames
ICACLS %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames /grant TrustedInstaller:(OI)(CI)(F) SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(RX) Users:(OI)(CI)(RX) 
  
.

Try that and see if it works any better.
