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.

    I ran it both in standard mode and safe mode.  It seems to do some good but those two problems remain.   When run in Safe Mode it reports it cannot fix "problems installing recent updates."  In standard mode, it reports "service registration is missing or corrupt", "Windows Update Error 0x80070057 (2015-06-03-T-05_32_29P) and "problems installing recent updates" as all fixed.

    I did all The Bootrec commands from The Recovery Command Prompt and turned the computer on and off.   I still have endless repairs at Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and Troubleshooter at Windows Update.

    I then went into Safe Mode With Networking.  I tried The Dism " " ScanHealth, StartComponentCleanup and " " ResetBase  and RestoreHealth commands with the same results.  I also tried the bootsect /nt60 All command and both a chkdsk  /offlinesnanandfix and a clean boot.  I still have the problem.
