How to replace and repair damaged Windows files If you ever suddenly your operating system begins to fail and start to see messages in the style of "no such file ..", "The file is damaged or missing x" is not always necessary to reinstall Windows.

If running SFC / SCANNOW warning message appears informing you that could not be repaired some files, you can find complete information in the log saved in the following path: C: \ WINDOWS \ LOGS \ CBS \ CBS.log. To view the contents of the log copy and paste the following line in a console window and press the Enter key. findstr / c: "[SR]"% windir% \ logs \ cbs \ cbs.log>% userprofile% \ Desktop \ sfcdetalles.txt Is created on the desktop named sfcdetalles.txt file with the information requested.
