System files corrupted on two pcs. Sfc /scannow cannot repair.

ararat

After I had the "license not recognized" problem with version 4.0.0.1485 on two pcs (fixed very quickly )

and afterwards had the "all desktop icons gone" problem with version 4.0.0.1486 (two days work to repair :( ) on one pc, now I encountered the

"sfc /scannow found corrupted files and could not repair them" problem with version 4.0.0.1487 on both my pcs.

(another day for me to fix this :( )

Systems:

(PC No.1: Win8.1 64 Bit and all programs on 250 GB Intel SSD, Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell, ASUS Mainboard Z87-A, 16 GB RAM. ATI Radeon R9 280X)

(PC No.2: Win8.1 Pro 64 Bit and programs on 1TB HDD, Intel Corei7 860 Nehalem Lynnfield, ASUS P7P55D with ASUS U3S6 SATAIII/USB3.0 extension board, 8 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD5870)

Had to use the

dism /online /cleanup-image /cheackhealth

and

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

commands in admin CMD window, to repair this.

Only used JV16PWT-X this way:

"Clean & Fix My Computer" with standard settings

(Registry defrag enabled, but startup optimizer disabled)

and chose

repair (not delete, or manual repair - on both pcs.)

Can´t use JV16 again, if it´s not safe to use it without corrupting Windows system files.

(There was a windows update that week - if this could be responsible ... but, as I can see on this board, this problem happened with JV16PWT-2014 before,too.)

Could someone please have a look at what may cause these corruptions?

_______

Remark - OT:

Startup optimizer stops my gaming mouse driver and my key-scrambler from normal loading.

What´s the use of having the desktop loaded 10 seconds faster, if one has to wait more than a minute later for the mousedriver or the key-scrambler to load?

I often start my pc for internet use (with key-scrambler activated) or for playing a 3D game with highspeed mouse driver.

Maybe startup optimizer is nice for those who often start their pc and immediately only want to write some text. In my case it rather slows down my pc start - therefore very important for me, that this "optimizer" will always stay an option to enable/disable if wanted.

Hello. :)

Maybe JV16 is not responsible.

I first thought so, because I regularly check both my pcs with sfc /scannow, they passed the tests flawlessly one week before installing new JV16-X and during that period I only updated Firefox to version 38 and of course had a Windows update on patchday.

With the "desktop gone" problem (ver 1486), of course JV16 became the first suspect to me, when sfc problems occured to both my pcs.

Today I did the following with my pc No.1:

0) Trimmed my SSD + chkdsk (okay)

1) sfc /scannow (again found faults it couldn´t repair)

2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (successful)

3) restart pc

4) sfc /scannow (now could repair faults)

5) restart pc

6) sfc /scannow (no faults)

7) Clean & Fix my computer (standard settings, startup optimizer disabled) - option REPAIR selected

8) restart pc (for registry defrag)

9) sfc /scannow (no faults)

This time JV16´s scan list had been very short and I found nothing suspicious.

Therefore I not only saved the list, but risked the execution.

Guess, the list is probably useless for you, but I should at leat post it after causing such uproar.

10) I then scanned my pc for virus

a) With Norton Internet Security (my permanent and only online scanner - quick scan))

b) With Malwarebytes Antimalware Free (installed, too - but no online scanner - only for manual scans - quick scan)

c) With Bit Defender bootable Live CD (complete scan)

No virus

11) Disabled new DRM plugin in Firefox 38

12) sfc /scannow again (flawless).

Why did I do so much?

Yesterday I repaired my pc with sfc + dism and all was okay before I shut down my pc. Today sfc found new corrupted files.

Haven´t tested my pc after "pc shutdown" today, yet. Always only tested it after "pc restart".

(Only now comes to my mind, this could make a difference. Can´t test without logout.)

Maybe tomorrow the same sfc problem again. (I´ll test - today too late)

-------

Sorry, in case I may have been wrong with JV16 causing the problems. :

Still don´t know if my pcs are reliable again. Still didn´t have the time to test pc No.2.

The idea of the Startup Optimizer is that it makes your system start faster while some individual automatically starting software can take a bit longer to start. If you don't like this, you can choose not to use the feature.

Yes, I know. My main aim was, to say:

Quoting myself abbreviated:

Remark:

... therefore very important for me, that this "optimizer" will always stay an option to enable/disable if wanted.

Only to say: Keep it an option in future versions, please (with checkmark removable.)

Sorry for long post and thx for your friendly answer.

Hello :)

Thank you for your work.

Just tested my second pc (the one with hdd instead of ssd) with sfc /scannow.

Both pcs look okay today. :)

Yes, s.th. must have gone wrong with disc writing, just as you say.

Sorry for bothering you with this. :

-------

Are you reporting that the Startup Optimizer gets enabled without user's permission

No, startup optimizer is not no misbehaving.

My remark: "Keep it an option", I only made because ...

After long years of using it, I quit buying TuneUp Utilities (hope I may mention it?) because with every new version they introduced more automatics (not always deselectable) that were rather slowing my pc down, making that tool more or less useless to me. I just don´t want to experience the same development with JV16.

Have a good time (all) and thx one more time.

Hello. :)

I guess, I found the solution.

I quote myself:

Just tested my second pc (the one with hdd instead of ssd) with sfc /scannow.

Both pcs look okay today. :)

Only at that moment both pcs were okay and then they had system file corruptions again.

Now I seem to really have found the source of all this misbehaviour.

Because I couldn´t get rid of sfc /scannow irreparable problems, I decided to do an MS Windows 8.1 Inplace Uprade on pc No.1.

This failed during reboot with BSOD after successful start of Windows installation. Error code (0x101-0x20017) said: Hardware!

If hardware was responsible, it could only be hardware that I had lately connected new to both pcs.

I had attached a USB 3.0 hub (same brand) to each of my two pcs few weeks before JV16-X release.

This hub seems to have been responsible. Since I disconnected it, both my pcs don´t give me sfc /scannow errors any more.

Just for your information.
