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.

Do not install IObit after that. And foget about it at all.
Microsoft Telephone paid support told me not to worry about these functions finding corrupt files unless they can't repair ones Sfc /Scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth find. They didn't address the startup issue.
Excuse me. I meant to say I hadn't used those programs ever. I'll look for removal tools for the ones I have though.
Yes. My startup is erratic. Since I last posted, my computer crashed and took me to the Reset Function. Microsoft Telephone support told me to run The Compatibility Troubleshooter after installing all 3rd-party programs. I did, and restarted the computer after using The Troubleshooter. Since then, my startup is erratic, but sometimes very fast. My fan is mainly quiet. Sfc/Scannow finds no trouble, run from Windows Powershell both in Standard and in Safe Mode. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth does the same. Dism /Online /Cleaup-Image /StartComponentCleanup and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase both work splendidly, both in Standard and in Safe Mode. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth still always finds problems but repairs them. sfc /SCANNOW run from Recovery's Command Prompt X: does the same. Windows Update Troubleshooter and Windows Program Compatibility Troubleshooter also still always find trouble and repair it. Startup Repair still gives up repairing startup instantly.
