Windows 10: DISM fix for recent Windows Update/WindowsDefender Platform corruption

Windows 10 SFC /scannow Can't Fix Corrupted Files After Update

This is a question regarding the recent file corruption that occurred after a Windows anti malware update caused Windows Defender Platform errors that are first noticed when running sfc /scannow. Users had to run a DISM repair to fix their PC's. I was one of many people on here who only discovered I even had this issue because after clean installing Windows I ran an sfc scan and there were errors that sfc couldn't fix.
The issue was solved for me by running DISM to repair the component store and then SFC again to fix the errors. All is back to normal again now.
This whole experience though has left me with a question. There will be many people who at the moment don't even know they have this corruption because they never run an SFC scan..maybe they've never even heard of System File Checker.
If you were to continue ignoring this error without using DISM to repair it or are unaware of the problem. Would it prevent a user from using the Reset this PC option in Settings/Recovery any time in the future?
Would the Windows Disc Image corruption that Im presuming prevented SFC from being able to fix the issue also prevent a user from being able to use the Reset this PC to method to reinstall Windows because that also would need to use the Windows Disc Image

W7 Platform Update - Text corruption

As a result of the latest platform update for Windows 7 (IE 10 prereq), some of you may be noticing corruption/distortion/rendering issues with text. I've noticed it when scrolling through Gmail, for example.

The bug is documented here: Bugzilla - Firefox

 

windows 10 professional post installation corruption not fixed by sfc scannow or dism restorehealth

Greg,

The troubleshooting for problems with corruption found by sfc /scannow and dism/ online /cleanup-image /restorehealth were related to the upgrade from windows 7 pro to windows 10 pro. The source for the windows 10 pro upgrade was the Microsoft web site.

It impacted some upgrades but not all upgrades. It is unclear why it impacts some and not all.

The source for the windows 10 pro dvd was hp for licensed HP or Compaq PC.

The problems with sfc / scannow and dism restorehealth corruption have been fixed.

sfc /scannow now displays: windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations

dism restorehealth now displays: the restore operation completed successfully. The operation completed successfully.

These were problems with the windows 10 pro operating system downloaded from the Microsoft web site and/or installed from the dvd.

When dism restorehealth finds corruption that it does not fix I don't understand how to guide it and find the source files that it is missing. In case there is corruption in the future please list the steps to use the windows 10 pro dvd to supply the dism
restorehealth command with the sources to fix the corruption.
