Windows 10: Sfc /offlogfile

If I execute the command: sfc
... then I get the help, including the parameter /OFFLOGFILE

If I execute the command: sfc /scannow /offlogfile=E:\temp\scannnow.txt
... then the help is displayed, but no error message. What's going on?

I'm trying to run sfc /verifyonly and to direct the output to a file.
So I tried: sfc /verifyonly > E:\temp\verifyonly.txt
... and of course that worked.
But the text in the file is curious. Every character is taking 2 bytes, the first being x'00'

It's simple enough to write a script to get around these minor issues; I'm just curious why I should have to!

HELP with SFC after DVD upgrade to 10 please

Messing around with the component store is tricky.

After you restore I suggest using Windows to correct the issue
Do NOT run SFC until we're sure - that just puts you in a loop or worse

1. Programs and Features: Uninstall Avast
   
   
2. Run the Avast cleaner
   
   
3. Programs and Features: Make a note of what C++ redists are installed
   Uninstall all C++ redists (both x86 and x64 versions)
   Restart the machine
   Re-install the C++ redists (both x86 and x64 versions) from the MS link I gave you above that were installed
   
4. Cleanup the image
   See: DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image - Windows 10 Forums
   
   Use step 6. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth /Source:wim Command if you downloaded the ISO from Techbench
   
   Use step 7. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth /Source:esd Command if you used the Media Creation Tool
   Report back if DISM reported any errors - I'll need to look at the CBS log

That's enough for now - those steps should clean up your machine. Remember, the only thing SFC reported was the reference to AVAST C runtime. Reinstalling MS C runtime should make them the SxS winners.

After you complete those steps, I'll ask you to look at a few other things before proceeding.
Do NOT run SFC until asked ... you might have to divert from the path to fix something else
