However, since we are discussing about a huge platform that is always under development stage, improvements are always welcomed. But, sometimes these improvements are not rolled out as fast as we want. For this reason, many users decide to take the matter into their own hands. So, we try to tweak built-in settings and features by using third party apps or by downloading and flashing processes which are not released by Microsoft. Either way, we can end up in messing things up – we can damage internal files, the apps that we use can corrupt default registry, or who knows, something essential might be just erased. Thus, problems occur and we have to find the perfect way to fix them. Usually, the first troubleshooting process that we apply is the System File Checker or sfc.exe. This is a service featured by default within the Windows core center, located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. The utility performs a scan process that searches for corrupt Windows system files. SFC (System File Checker) will also repair corruptions or system-related errors and can restore a Windows Restore Protection (WRP) package, through which your Windows 10 device can’t run properly anymore. Good, so everything should be crystal clear for now. But, what should you do when the SFC scan isn’t working? In most situations, if Windows Modules Installer isn’t enabled, the SFC utility will not complete the system scan, so you cannot fix the implied malfunctions. Windows Modules Installer is a dedicated service also pre-loaded on the Windows software; this service must access WRP files and registry entries when the SFC scan is initiated. Well, as obvious, if the service is disabled you will get a warning message or an error stating that Windows resource protection could not start the repair service. You should now understand how the SFC scan is working and why you receive the Windows resource protection could not start the repair service Windows 10 error. And based on the explanation above, the issues can be easily fixed by enabling Windows Modules Installer. Here is how you can achieve this fix.

How do I fix Windows resource protection error?

After applying the steps from above you should be able to initiate the SFC scan. The Windows resource protection could not start the repair service error should be fixed so you can resume your troubleshoot initiative. To start the scan, just launch the elevated command prompt window again and enter sfc /scannow (between sfc and ‘/’ there is a space). Note: Depending on the problems or on your own Windows 10 configuration this scan might take a while; just do your work while the process is running.
