Hi Team,

Having a terrible issue with updating my PC to the latest windows version.


This is my 3rd time installing this update as previously I have rolled back to last install (Windows keeps forcing the broken update... that is a separate complaint)

Basically, after install, any games using Easy Anti Cheat fail to run with some complaint about a corrupt .dll file.

Steps suggested for fixing this are to try running 'sfc /scannow'
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files


Unfortunately, this leads to the error pasted in the title
"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."

When I follow the microsoft documentation about what to do next, it says to check what is in the CBS logs for the full output of what files were corrupt or failed to repair.
Great.
Only I go and check there, and although the logs are new and up to date, there is no errors inside.
Following instructions here:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files


So with nothing in the CBS logs I am at a loss as to what to do next.

It should be made clear, this affects the performance of my system in several ways not just with EAC.
I have seen my computer freeze up since, trying to open the task manager, or any windows UI has been freezing and difficult (settings menus, just getting CMD open for instance...)
All since this update.
Also (if it makes it any more Microsoft related) the game I am trying to play is the Halo Master Chief Collection lol

Pasting some of my PC specs and the CBS logs below before rolling back this update again.

CBS Logs

Pasting the logs seems to have gone over my 60k character count I am allowed in this post, can't see any way to attach a file so will leave it for now, can maybe upload somewhere and link to them on request.
