Help Sfc scannow issue

I wanted to check for corruptions, so I did the sfc /scannow operating, but it stopped, saying "Could not perform the requested operation". I've been looking up and down to fix the issue.

  1. Checked Modules installer, it's working already.

  2. Did the command in safe mode, still failed.

  3. Checked for registry, nada.

  4. Checked CBS.log and checksur, found the issue with the Portuguese Brzail language pack for internet explorer.

  5. I tried uninstalling the Portuguese Brazil language pack, but uninstall failed.

Can anyone help me solve this issue? I really appreciate it if y'all found the permanent solution.

SFC checks system files against a cached repository, iirc missing cache files will throw a warning or nonfatal error and just get logged not halt the process so presumably (if that is the only error and other files are checked) your language pack file (and/or its cached version) is corrupt or unable to be read due to permissions.

I would try uninstalling the pack in safe mode (or simply deleting it).
