SFC scannow and it's log files.

Permissions?

Thursday, November 7, 2013 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Personal Computing

Guys, I ran SFC Scannow, in an admin cmd. prompt. I get this message:

 

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
(c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

 

When I try to read the log file, I get "Access is Denied."

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.

'Windows 8.1' is a clue....

Probably legacy code from Windows ME ....

I have had that problem with certain files and had to take owwnership or change permissions in order to access them. You can also copy it to your desktop and then open it. It works for me that way.
