SFC /Scannow will not run due to Windows Resource Protection.
First off Hello I'm new on here nice to meet ya.
I'm running windows 7 32bit, I just now begun noticing problems with my computer when the windows update service kept displaying the same updates and never would search for new updates, so I ended up forcing it to search and I got the the dreaded 80073712 error code, Done some searching on the Microsoft website tried their fix it stuff which normally does work, this time nothing worked. I tried the System Update Readiness Tool it didn't fix anything, so tried to run a sfc scan through command prompt as admin and I got the "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation before the scan even started.
Somebody on another forum was helping me and after sending them the cbs.txt file and other files it was determined that my COMPONENTS hive is either corrupt or damn near empty. I stumbled upon a thread titled "Empty COMPONENTS hive" where a member here called NoelDP was helping this other member substitute or rebuild his COMPONENTS hive and I was really hoping he could possibly assist me in hopefully doing the same thing or finding another solution.
I have attached the cbs.txt file for you, please let me know if you require anything else. Thank you!
