Why??
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.

2015-06-14T22:19:05+00:00 I did a refresh and it got me my Windows Powershell back. Maybe not the best solution, but a one.
Chances are the Refresh will only be a temporary fix only.
When (exact date) did you do the Refresh?
Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial [pick one] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it - but it will be installed again every time you do a Refresh or a Reset.)
Is Advanced SystemCare, AVG PC TuneUp, and/or any other "registry cleaners" still installed?
A Refresh cannot clear up an infection. How have you determined that the computer's no longer infected?

2015-06-14T23:02:31+00:00 Microsoft lists Advanced SystemCare as compatible software. [SOURCE]
Compatible does NOT mean recommended.

2015-06-14T23:08:09+00:00 Look at here: КВ3021910 fixed issue 1
Does the OP have KB3021910 installed?
Did the Refresh put him back to Win8?
