My hard drive was going bad so I cloned it. Windows 10 now works again, but I still get errors when trying to run SFC and DISM.
When I run sfc /scannow, I get an error message "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
When I run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth I get an error code: 605 "The specified buffer contains ill-formed data."
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

OPTION 1:
Insert your installation CD. From Admin Command, run:
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
NOTE: If it says: reaparable, go to step 3, if not go to OPTION 2 - Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:X:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
NOTE: Replace X with the drive letter pointing to the installation CD - sfc /scannow
NOTE: may have to run multiple times until you get the message: Windows Resources did not find any integrityviolation.
OPTION 2:
Open the drive where your installation media is and run Setup.exe. Follow the instruction to perform update which actually does a repair.

I suspect the cloning was not 100% successful. Might want to wipe and re-pave.

I would recopy the bits for the programs that are not working. Sounds like you have some corruption.

Hi SteveFL99,
Which tool you used to clone the hard disk?
By the way, are you running Windows 10 1511 build 10586?
If yes, please consider download Windows 10 install Media, the nperform an upgrade install, which could fix the missing or corrupted system files.
in addition, please also connect the clone tool manufacturer, see if they could offer any further assistance.
Regards

I used Acronis True Image (from Western Digital) to clone the drive. The original drive had some bad sectors, which likely caused the corruption and is why re-cloning will not help. The corruption is in the original drive. I am trying to repair the corruption but neither SFC nor DISM can do it.
How do I know which programs aren't working/are corrupted? Will the ADKsetup file from your link find and fix the corruption?
And yes, I am running running Windows 10 (Pro) 1511 build 10586. I downloaded and made the Windows 10 install CD. How do I perform an upgrade install from it to fix the files?

Option 1 did not work. It produced the following:
Completed successfully
Completed successfully with no corruption detected
Error 605: the specific buffer contains ill-formed data
At 90%, stopped and said it could not perform the requested operation
While it had it's drawbacks, Option 2 successfully repaired the corruption.
It basically did a reinstallation of Windows 10, and that repaired whatever was corrupt. Afterwards, sfc /scannow returned no integrity violation. It also preserved most, but not all, of my settings. The problem with this repair method is that when reinstalling, Windows 10 insists on updating the driver for my AMD display adapter, which does not actually work with my display adapters (I have an HP Envy 14 with dual display adapters, where an adapter is chosen and works with all applications. The updated driver switches adapters based on the application that is running, which is not supported by my computer/adapters.). And then even though I tell Windows 10 not to install updated drivers, I have to fight it for 3-4 hours to remove the new driver and install the old one. Every time that I delete the new driver and restart, Windows wants to instantly reinstall the new driver before I can run the MS workaround program that lets me tell it to hide that updated driver. After many hours and tries, I am finally able to stop that update and get the old driver installed and working. So I'm good until the next time that the driver for my display adapter is updated and Windows 10 insists on installing it (Windows 10 has force installed a new updated driver version 2 or 3 times in the last 6 months, which each time causes this major problem that is hard to fix). I don't know why MS took away all choice in driver updating. It causes major headaches and lost time.
But anyway, thanks for everyone's help. Option 2 did work to repair the corruption without the need to reinstall Windows 10 to a clean drive, or reset Windows 10 and then have to reinstall all applications.
