Is there a "switch" that can be used with sfc /scannow that will save the result in a text file - preferably in a location and name selected by the user.
The available documentation indicates that the results from sfc /scannow should be saved to either "sfcdetails.txt" or "CBS.log".
I have been unable to find a file called "sfcdetails.txt".
The "CBS.log" file contains numerous entries, most of which are probably irrelevant but some of which might be helpful. Microsoft have a detailed document on "How to Analyse the CBS.log". Regrettably this was last updated for Vista, so although the information might still be applicable I am reluctant to accept that the information is still accurate - a lot has happened to Windows since the days of Vista.
The "CBS.log" file is also not specific to a particular scan. It tends to accumulate lots of data over a period, only a small part of which might be relevant to the results of a current scan.
