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.

2015-06-18T14:16:18+00:00 I was. This thread recommended a Ksapersky Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware scan, so I installed it for that reason. It crashed my Iobit before I could uninstall it. An hour later I couldn't sign-in to the computer. Finally The Recovery Options let me in and I did a System Restore. It failed, but on my second sign-in this morning the computer started up pretty quickly.
I think I've found a great deal of the problem. Because of vision problems, I set Windows 8.1's Advanced System Settings to Best Performance. I also set Iobit to Gaming Mode, not knowing it wasn't meat to stay there. I've switched both to their lowers performance modes.
I'll get back to you with some kind of files of my computer file repairs.
SFC/Scannow run in Powershell and Standard Mode still finds no corrupt files. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and sfc /SCANNOW run from Command Prompt X: still repair the corrupt files that they find. Is it at all likely that Advanced Sysytem Care set to Best Appearance and Iobit set to Gaming Mode damaged the files beyond repair?
