.... and btw .... I'm on a stock (standard) Dell Inspiron 3910 running Windows 11 Pro Build 22621.ni_release.220506-1250. The Windows update I installed is the Windows 11 23H2, the March 2024 cumulative update (or should I say "cumulative screwup"?). This Dell has 16GB RAM installed and a 1TB SSD and .... other than the operating system, is performing with no flaws.

This is either a .DLL issue or an incorrect registry entry or entries: either way, it's Microsoft's fault that its customers are LOSING TIME and PRODUCTIVITY over their screwups.

Management needs to get its act together out there.

SFC /SCANNOW Errors After Update

I've just updated a Windows 8.1 Pro PC to Windows 10 using the Techbench ISO which updated without any problems. However, I've just run sfc /scannow and it found errors it could not repair. I have managed to get sfc /scannow to run without errors - see what I did below:

1. Ran sfc /scannow which showed error "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them."
2. Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth which reported "The component store is repairable."
3. Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth which failed with Error: 0x800f081f "The source files could not be found.Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature."
4. Mounted the W10 Techbench ISO and ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:G:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess which reported successfully "The restore operation completed successfully."
5. Ran sfc /scannow wich completed successfully with report "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them."

Please advise:

1. Why would sfc /scannow fail on a newly updated installation which ran sfc /scannow error free immediately before the upgrade?
2. Why did I have to use install.wim from the Techbench ISO at step 4 above for Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to work and will I have to use install.wim from the Techbench ISO every time I need to run this Dism command?
3. How can I configure my PC so it has the correct install.wim file for the Dism command to work properly?
