Running SFC question
Previous versions needed a location to recover corrupt files.
So the question is where would that be on a PC with Windows 10 that has been downloaded from update? |

So you also have that option available to you. What I haven't figured out, is how to make the virtual drive "go away". You can "eject" the media from the virtual drive, but then the virtual drive just sits there :-) A reboot removes it completely, but I was hoping it would go away as soon as the virtual media is ejected.

I can't vouch for the ability of the *user* to be granted access to the install.wim on the DVD. My one tool for doing that (7ZIP) is broken now, since Microsoft did something to the WIM format. (I can access the x32 ISO, but something in the x64 ISO causes 7ZIP to actually crash.) I would need to get the beta Win10 ADK kit, and see if that offers a way. Microsoft could also pull the file referenced by SFC, from their server if they wanted. Paul |

Mike The ones with the letter version, have things like Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer turned off. To meet EU legal requirements from past settlements perhaps. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/w...ws-7-n-edition "The N editions of Windows 7 allow you to choose your own media player and software required to manage and play CDs, DVDs, and other digital media files. If you choose to use Windows Media Player 12, downloading it, along with related software, is free." So this is intended to be a barrier to "bundling" and locking out other third-party developers from providing such functions. At some point, Microsoft had also implemented a "Browser choice" screen, so you could see or view the options besides Internet Explorer. Then, they conveniently disabled the function, until the EU caught them doing it. In the latest bit of good-natured fun, the Firefox team has managed to steal search away from Bing, when you select Firefox as your default browser. As Microsoft was overriding the search choice. So the warfare continues. Bundling for the win. If only the users knew... or realized... what was going on. And Windows 10 is wired to the gills with controlling the search, keeping everything you accidentally type in a search box (when you were searching for a program say), that wort of thing. Paul |

I'm sure I've had a version of Windows which demanded a DVD for sfc /scannow, I don't think 7 ever asked so I guess it was XP, that or age is addling the brain.
