Microsoft was well aware of SFC scannow issues on systems after upgrading to Windows 11 24H2. The company says it is fixing it for all.
Yesterday, we reported on an annoyance where users say they have not been able to delete 8.63 GB of past update data after upgrading to Windows 11 24H2. One of the readers‘ comments on the post drew our attention, which said that there was also an SFC-related bug that was affecting systems post-2024 feature update.
For those who may not be familiar, System File Checker or SFC.exe is a native Windows utility that helps fix corrupt or broken Windows files by restoring them.
Essentially, running the SFC/scannow command would tell users that they had broken or corrupted files on their PC, but apparently, „fixing“ the files would do nothing, and SFC would again report broken files.
