windows 10 - Cannot boot computer in normal or safe mode to run sfc/scannow

I need to run sfc/scannow on my PC. I can get to the command prompt within the recovery options in Windows 10. (when it fails during bootup - the automatic repair GUI). However, I cannot boot successfully in either normal mode or safe mode, so when I run the sfc/scannow in the command prompt, it says




"Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation".


Through some research, I found that, apparently, if I want to successfully run the sfc, I need to boot into safe mode...but I cannot get into safe mode in the first place. It will fail and the PC will try to do automatic repair again and return me to the screen I first started at.




Is there an alternate way to get into safe mode?
