    Possible to run SFC command from bootable media?


    I can never get this to work but I'm not sure if it's even possible from the recovery environment or attached as an external drive to a working machine.

    I use my Windows 10 21H2 bootable USB to load the device into a recovery environment. Then I go into Diskpart and assign a letter to the volume with the Windows directory. Next when I exit Diskpart and change to that new drive letter and run the "sfc /scannow" command I always get the "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". I've also tried doing this by attaching the drive externally to a working PC and do an SFC with the offbootdir/offwindir pointing to the appropriate drive and still get the same error.

    Am I doing something in the process wrong? Or is it just not possible to run SFC without getting into Windows on that drive?

    Installation media boots to command prompt

    I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

    1. Windows logo on a black screen
    2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
    3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
    4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
    5. the initial Setup page appears

    Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

    Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

    If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Possible to run SFC command from bootable media? :)
