About Windows Resource Protection Could Not Perform the Requested Operation Issue

The System File Checker (SFC) tool is used to scan and repair corrupted Windows system files. Most users often and willingly use this tool when the system crashes or some Windows functions do not work as expected. During the scan, there is an automatic search and restoration of damaged or missing system files, which in turn is very convenient.

However, there are situations when the System File Checker does not work, and the message "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation" appears on the monitor screen when the Scan Now command is executed.

This makes it impossible for you to restore your system automatically, so it's worth solving the problem and fixing the error as soon as possible. Let's do it and get it resolved right now!

2. Work With System Folder

If the first method did not help launch the System File Checker, it means that the problem is not related to disk errors. The SFC might be unable to access the Winsxs folder (C:\Windows\winsxs) due to problems with the folder's security descriptors.

To check and fix this, do the following:

Open a command prompt as administrator by following the above steps. Next, in the command prompt window enter ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs and press Enter.

Once the command has completed, restart your computer and run SFC again to see if the problem is resolved.
