    You enter the first command, press enter, wait for it to complete, type the second command, press enter.

    Once the above command is finished, (which should take a few minutes), do you enter the second part.

    SFC /SCANNOW

    So the command line will now look like this:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32> SFC /SCANNOW

    Hit ENTER

    I did it myself on my own PC to demonstrate, the whole process took about 3 minutes from start to finish. 


    All these instructions were in my original post (the third reply after your original question), Had you just followed these to the letter you would have saved yourself about 10 hours. ;)

    I thought it was all a single command, that's what I was doing wrong.  It accepted putting both statements separately.  

    After running the first it says 'Restore operation completed successfully' and
    'Resource Window Protection did not find any integrity violation'

    Let's see if prevents the unscheduled restarting.
