Reasons for the “Windows resource protection could not perform ..” issue

First, the biggest reason for this problem is bad sectors.

Second, do not forget that an unprotected PC (without a valid antivirus program) can also be responsible for the “Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation” problem. A virus attack able contributes to many of Windows errors.

The last of the most common reasons is due to the damage of TrustedInstaller.exe.

Let’s keep in mind these causes for the error and move to treatment.

The best advice in the beginning:

There are two recommended actions that you should take before you start fixing the “Windows resource protection could not..” error.

1. Launch antivirus!

As was already said, the issue can be caused by a virus. So, check if there is any malware on your PC/laptop before you attempt a “cure”.

You can launch Windows Defender or your current antivirus program.

2. Make a disk image!

If the reason of the problem being investigated is a bad sector, the best option is to form a disk image.

Why? Because bad sectors may grow on HDD and lead to full or partial data loss. The disk image will save all your files and you can restore them at any moment.

In addition, one of the recommendations for fixing the “Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation” error is the chkdsk utility. But this utility is harmful to recoverable data and can permanently damage them (this happens in most cases).

However, there is great news: you can create a disk image very quickly and completely for free thanks to DiskInternals Partition Recovery. This feature is built into this application so that you can rely on it completely when using DiskInternals Partition Recovery.

Solutions:

Here are three option and any of them able to help you!

Method 1. CHKDSK in Safe mode

The best idea to use this tool in safe mode.

Enter the Safe mode; right-click on Start and select Command Prompt (Run as Administrator). At the command line, type the following: chkdsk C: . Hit Enter key. After the scanning ends, restart the PC/laptop.

Method 2. Use Automatic Windows Repair

Windows resource protection could not perform requested operation

If you have an installation disk, this method is for you.

Insert it into your PC/laptop and start the system boot. Follow the prompts and recommendations of the Wizard and, as soon as you see the Restore Computer option, immediately click on it. Click on the Troubleshooting tab and choose Advanced Settings. In this dialog box, choose the Startup Recovery tab.

When the recovery is completed, restart the PC/laptop and note whether the message “Windows could not perform the requested operation” still appears.

Method 3. Reinstall OS

With this method, all data (everything that is stored on the disk where the OS is located) will be lost, so make a backup copy of all significant files.

To recover lost files, you can use DiskInternals Partition Recovery.

To save existing files, you can use the free Partition Recovery function (or other DiskInternals program elements) and create a disk image; to open these files you will need to use Partition Recovery in read mode. In addition, it can easily recover files such as photos, videos, audio, documents of any format, etc. All these files can be recovered in absolutely any size, as the application will restore everything without restrictions.

There are also two versions of the program of your choice: a trial version (which is absolutely free and contains all the functions as the fully functional version) and a paid version. But, in any case, you only need to pay if you want to save the recovered files to any device.

How to fix 'Windows resource protection cannot perform the requested operation' Error?

If your computer starts to display various errors, has issues during booting, or there are problems with the Windows system, it is likely that there are missing or corrupted files. System File Checker (or SFC) is a built-in Windows operating system utility that allows users to scan the Windows system for corrupted or missing files, and automatically restore them. To use System File Checker you must open Command Prompt and execute the sfc /scannow command. This will scan all system files and replace corrupted ones with cached copies.

There is no perfect operating system and, therefore, System File Checker might need to be used occasionally to fix various problems. Despite this, some users have reported that System File Checker itself started malfunctioning with an error stating “Windows resource protection cannot perform the requested operation”. This error message affects Windows 10 users (and others) and can occur at any time during the scan - or the scan might stall at a specific percentage, and then fail multiple times.

The reason for this error is unknown and can vary depending on the operating system in use and other factors. Fortunately, there are methods to fix the problem. Read the guide below for a step-by-step guide and possible solutions.

Table of Contents:

It is recommended to run a free scan with Malwarebytes - a tool to detect malware and fix computer errors. You will need to purchase the full version to remove infections and eliminate computer errors. Free trial available.

Run SFC Scan In Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a diagnostic start-up mode in Windows operating systems used to obtain limited access to Windows when the operating system does not start or function normally. It is the opposite of Normal Mode, which starts Windows in the usual manner. Safe Mode is available on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and most older versions of Windows.

One of the most common steps when troubleshooting a computer is to boot into Safe Mode. Safe Mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help to troubleshoot problems on your computer and be an effective way to scan the system for malware. Read this guide to find out how to start Windows in Safe Mode.

If you are unable to start Windows in Safe Mode, we recommend that you to use your Windows installation media, such as Windows DVD or USB drive, which contains Windows installation files. If you have a DVD or USB that contains Windows 10 installation media, insert it and restart the computer. You should get an on-screen message stating that you need to press any key to boot from CD or DVD. Simply press any key on the keyboard and follow the instructions. Select the installation language and click 'Next'. You should see the 'Repair your computer' option in the next step - find it and click it. This will lead you to the Automatic Repair screen. From here, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options and select Startup Settings. Select the Safe Mode option and run the sfc /scannow command in Safe Mode.

Run CHKDSK Utility

It is always a good idea to periodically check the disk for errors. There is a built-in tool in Windows tool to check the integrity of disks. It examines disks and corrects many common errors. You can run this tool from the command line or through a graphical interface. In this case, we recommend that you run it through Command Prompt. To run it from the command line, open Command Prompt, type 'command prompt', right-click on the 'Command Prompt' result, and select 'Run as administrator' Viber for os x el capitan. from the drop-down menu.

In the Command Prompt window, type the 'chkdsk C: /f' command and press Enter on the keyboard. Replace 'C' with the letter of your hard drive if it is not the C: drive you wish to scan (or the Windows operating system is on another drive) on your computer. The 'chkdsk C: /f' command detects and repairs logical issues affecting the drive. To repair physical issues, also run the 'chkdsk C: /r' command. Windows will need to restart the computer to finish the scan - restart it and see if this fixes the “Windows resource protection cannot perform the requested operation” error.

The disk checking could take a lot of time, depending on your computer's overall speed and size of hard drive. Be patient and wait until it finishes.

Run ICACLS Command

It is possible that System File Checker is failing to scan the system because it cannot access the WinSxS folder due to issues with the WinSxS folder's security descriptors. To run the ICALCS command, open Command Prompt with administrative privileges and execute the 'ICACLS C:Windowswinsxs' command.

Restart the computer and run the System File Checker. See if this fixes the “Windows resource protection cannot perform the requested operation” error.

Run DISM Command

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) can be used to repair and prepare Windows images, including the Windows Recovery Environment, Windows Setup, and Windows PE. To run a DISM scan, open Command Prompt as administrator and type this command: 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth'. Press Enter on the keyboard to execute it. Wait for the process to complete and see if you are now able to run System File Checker.

Windows Resource Protection Could Not Perform The Requested Operation Server 2008

If none of the methods mentioned above solve the problem, you can reinstall Windows. That would mean erasing the current installation and replacing it with a clean one. Reinstalling Windows usually fixes all problems, but is a last resort if nothing else works.

We hope one of these solutions solves the problem (and it was not necessary to reinstall the Windows operating system). If you know of other methods that solve the problem not mentioned in our guide, please share them with us by leaving a comment in the section below.
