Windows Update KB2919355

None of these are working, and when I try to do the following:

DISM.exe /Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

it says this operation failed. 

Is there a way to find out what file is corrupted?

Hello Jay,

Thank you for keeping us updated on the status of the issue.

I understand that the issue is still not resolved.

However, Microsoft recommends installing all the Windows updates as these updates contain bug fixes and keep your computer up to date.

This update includes the following new features and improvements:

a. Enables a more familiar mouse and keyboard functionality for modern apps and controls.

b. Improves the web application compatibility of the Internet Explorer 8 emulation mode in Internet Explorer 11 F12 Developer Tools.

c. Increases performance and reliability when you use multi-display configurations for portrait-first device experiences.

For reference:

You may try following steps and check if it helps.

a. Click on “Start” and type “cmd” (without the quotations).

b. When you see the “cmd” icon, Right Click on it and select “Run as administrator”.

c. On the open Command Prompt window copy and paste the commands (all at once):

  net stop wuauserv

  net stop cryptSvc

  net stop bits

  net stop msiserver

  ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

  ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

  net start wuauserv

  net start cryptSvc

  net start bits

  net start msiserver

  pause

d. Wait for the process to complete.

e. Close the Command Prompt.

Now, go to Windows updates and check.

I hope this helps.

Thank you

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately none of these worked.  I believe the error code is 0x800F08F.  Are there any other options?  If this update is necessary, and from what I've read it is, I may just back up my files, format the hard drive, and reinstall everything.  I don't know if that will correct this problem, but rather than spend hours trying to fix this I often find the reinstall takes less time and cleans up everything that may have been corrupted over time.
