No audio and error bad Sfc.exe after the recent update of Windows

Original title: error sfc.exe bad image

Less than 2 hours ago, an automatic update of Microsoft Windows has been installed.  Now I have no sound.  I get a message in mmc.exe bad image.  I tried sfc/scannow and had an error of sfc.exe bad image.  I searched the community and found no other question about the bad image sfc.exe, so I do not know where to go from here.  Any ideas?

Hello Ubgrad,

Thanks for your reply, appreciate the time taken by us keep up to date on the State of the question.

Try the rest of the two following methods according to your convenience and check again running Scan SFC.

On addition to that, you can also run Windows built-in audio store. See the article below to run the audio troubleshooter.

Open the audio playback troubleshooting utility

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you

    After the recent update (security 2015-006, Mac OS 10.10.5, Yosemite), I can longer open all files in Microsoft Excel or Word.

    When I tried to open the files in the "Open recent" list, Excel reports "Excel cannot open the workbook. The file name or path contains invalid characters (for example, /). "Same error message appears when I go into the folder and open the file in Excel.

    When I tried to open an existing file of the word, he pointed out that "this is not a valid file name.

    PS: Please do not suggest you use everything as your other favorite programs.

    Click the folder just below the recent and see if documents are on my Mac. Additionally, click on a reader-Documents-then the file name and see if the same thing happens. I downloaded the update of security on the App Store and have no problem. Also, in your menu bar, go to help in the Office applications and updates.

  • Is it possible to restore the realization of streak of moving after the recent update of watch?

    Is it possible to restore the realization "streak more long movement" after the recent update of watch (v2.2)?   I had a streak of 44 moving goes when I updated the watch (04/04/16).  After the update, although I continue to exceed my goal of moving, I no longer get the prize for the longest series of moving.  Data are always available in the watch (I can see all complete circles).

    Hello

    While it may be that for any other achievements being credited, may be useful for the future allocation of achievements to close open applications on your iPhone and then restart your iPhone and your watch:

    • To close open applications on your iPhone: click twice on the Home button, and then drag upward on each preview of the app.
    • Both devices turn off together, and then restart your iPhone first:
      • To turn off your watch: press and hold the button side until you see the cursor off the power; slide it to turn off.
      • To reactivate: press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
  • After the recent update of Win7, computer will not remain in hibernation

    After a recent update of Windows (probably to fix something else), my computer refused to stay in hibernation.
    This is a 64 bit machine running Win7 Pro, and he wakes up now randomly after going into hibernation.
    I tried using 'powercfg' to see what is wake it up - no result.
    I tried to use 'powercfg' to deny the mouse and network which apparently have permission to wake up-no result.
    I unplugged the mouse in case there is a vibration of the earthquakes to chance - no result
    I unplugged the cable to the router in case there is a stray signal from on the internet - no result
    I went into the "Network properties" window and turned off all the "wake up" properties - no result.
    I looked at similar questions on this forum and checked "of performance issues" in the Panel as not advised - no problems to report.

    OK - what makes the Microsoft with a recent update to cause this problem and when they're going to cancel it?

  • Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

    I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

    Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

    I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

    In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools

  • After the recent update Windows Vista (Japanese OS) Firewall/Malware WARNING

    Hi, I am faced with a new type of problem since the recent update of Windows. In fact I've been using computer for a long time and on computer there's always Norton Internet security (previous Anti Virus) also, I had Malwarebyte s anti-malware installed and did not get the message "security WARNING Windows turn on the firewall and malware". When I tried to click OK, it won't because I'm already using Norton and Malwarebyte s.

    This message is very annoying, I want to turn it off, but I can't.

    Would you please let me know the steps how can I disable it?

    Thank you.

    Hi Ari,

    This could be a temporary problem, please run live on your Norton Internet Security Update, until you get the message "No updates available", and then restart the computer. If the problem persists, run Norton Reinstall tool by www.norton.com/nrnr to reinstall Norton Internet Security and let us know if this helps.
