That is easier said than done, however, as there are a number of steps you need to take before that can happen. I had the "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation" error recently, and the best way to resolve the issue is to reboot into safe mode and try and run 'sfc /scannow' through an administrative command prompt.

This problem fixed ASAP, send me an email andĭon't forget to leave your phone number. Update 20200116: I'm getting a lot of emailsįrom folks asking for help on this. How can I fix this so I can finish running the scan and fix my files? "


I am trying to run the command 'sfc /scannow' (system file checker) through the Windows command prompt to repair corrupt Windows files, but every time I try and run 'sfc /scannow', it stops at 42% and gives the error message 'Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.' Therefore, the 'sfc /scannow' does not complete and I can't repair my corrupt Windows files.
