Endless Corrupt Files and Troubleshooting.

Yesterday my SFC /Scannow command, run from Powershell Admin found corrupt files it was unable to fix.  I expected The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth command to take care of it.  Instead it reported "error 0x800f0906" and said it lacked the files to repair the problem. 

I looked up error 0x800f0906 in a Dism command.  It suggested a repair that started and stopped services, a

net stop wuauserv

cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution

ren Download Download.old

net start wuauserv

net stop bits

net start bits

net stop cryptsvc

cd %systemroot%\system32

ren catroot2 catroot2old

net start cryptsvc

It also suggested Windows Update was malfunctioning and that I should fix it from The Troubleshooting screen.  I did, and SFC /Scannow came up clean and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth reported error code 0x800f081f instead.

I then used The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup and The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase Commands.  I then used The Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Command and it reported "No component store corruption detected."  I thought I was in the clear, but  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth keeps reporting it found and repaired files and The Troubleshooter keeps reporting it's fixed problems in Windows Update.  Probably not the biggest deal in the Windows world but a little unsettling.

    Well, you guys showed me up on updates in this very thread, but Windows Standalone Installer lists them as exactly that, to say nothing of things like Windows 6.1 and Windows 8 RT.

    1.Windows Standalone Installer lists all three as exactly that, and Windows 6.1 and Windows 8 R too.  You guys have stumped me on updates right in this thread though.

    1. Yes, but I had to reinstall it just yesterday.

    3.  I don't know.  Windows Defender is turned off. 

    4.  Sometimes and sometimes not.  I just reinstalled IoBit Malware Fighter yesterday.

    Can you start Windows in a Standard Mode and  log in?

    If "yes":

    • Right-click on the "Start" button.
    • select  "Command Prompt (administrator)"  in the pop-up menu.
    • Type  SFC /scannow   in the CMD.exe  window  and   press  the "Enter"  key.
    • Wait for the finish of the scanning process.
    • Follow the instruction of June,17 above.

    It will help me but you   :-)   Thanks!

    sfc /SCANNOw run from The Recovery Command Prompt X: also lists records of repairs at CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.  I can fish it out of my files if it would help you.

    Run PowerShell script immediately when "sfc" will  finish the job

    If you cannot than copy the CBS.log

    File is large, so  upload a copy of CBS.log onto "OneDrive", share it  and  type the link  in your message.
