The System File Checker tool scans for and reports errors in your operating
system, not the installed software you find in Control Panel > Programs. A
repair of one of these, ususally third party, applications is pretty
unlikely to affect what SFC reports.

If SFC picks up any errors, it normally tries to fix them. You should keep
the OS installation media at hand, since you may need to download original
files from it.

In your case, no repair has been done by SFC and from what you are telling
us about the cbs.log file, no errors have been identified either.

Your next option is to run a repair installation of Windows itself. As long
as you do not really experience any problems in day-to-day use of the
computer, I strongly recommend you do not take this step. It is a tedious
and time consuming job, that includes backing up, repairing the OS, patching
the system from scratch and rebuilding your settings. Expect to repair or
reinstall some of your third party applications and drivers as well.
