How to fix “sfc /scannow” fails to complete.

Published on June 29, 2015 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Dennis Faas over at Infopackets wrote a really good article and a step by step “how to” about sfc /scannow failures. You should probably bookmark this and print it out.

I remember this issue coming up here at WC. Well…here’s the link: https://www.infopackets.com/news/9620/how-fix-sfc-scannow-fails-wont-complete

Hope you never need it…but if you do, it’s really handy since he covers XP –> W8.

Bookmarked. I run into this issue more than you'd think in the course of repairing computers for others. Thanks, Doc.

I have never seen this problem, but I do get the notice that "SFC /scannow found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them".

Will this maybe help with that?
