Hi vahidjavani,

Windows Resource Protection Could Not Start The Repair Service Win10

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting the question!

From the issue description it seems that you get an error message “Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service” while performing system file checker.

I do understand the inconvenience.

Since you have already performed SFC scan in Offline mode and Windows Recovery Environment, I would suggest you to perform a repair installation (Inplace Upgrade).There seems to be some system file corruptions and the repair install should be able to fix them.

Note: Before you proceed with the repair install, I would suggest you to take a backup of all your data.
