The sfc /scannow is not usually a good solution for OS configuration.

Hello,
Suggest you to run System File Checker scan:
- Search for 'command prompt' using Windows Search.
- From results, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow command and press Enter key.
- Let the command complete and then reboot the machine.
If that doesn't works, try these steps:
- Search for 'windows powershell' using Windows Search.
- From results, choose Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
- Then type/paste following and press Enter key:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
- Let the command complete, restart your system then.
Let us know if this helps!
