After this update “sfc /scannow” gets stuck at 100% for about 6-7 minutes, and afterwards reports that there are corrupted files that it cannot fix and asks for reboot.

The situation with “sfc/scannow” repeats after restart. I checked it with three different machines. There are a lot of errors in CBS.log file.

We’re aware of an issue impacting some Windows 8 customers trying to run the sfc /scannow command after installing KB2821895, where customers using the System File Checker receive an error message that there are corrupt files and that the system requires a restart to repair the files. 

To work around this issue:

·         Open an elevated command window

·         Run the command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, and wait for this command to complete.

·         Run the sfc /scannow command again until the command completes and reports that there is no corruption. If you still get an error that there is corruption, you should contact technical support for further assistance as your system may have actual corruption.

    That's a good question!!! Because of this update I no longer trust Microsoft in that way, that I can't have Windows update set to automatically install updates anymore.

    cFos I remember that from the old days, back when we where cavemen and did not have fiber optics like today ;)

    cFos can absolutely be the culprit in terms of corrupted data steam (downloads) probably not by itself due and maybe it got some bug...or... you have a crappy ISP, or phone line or whatever you have :) Good luck! and let us know how it goes, its always helpful to learn something new.
