    You probably want to clean the component store with the ResetBase addition... Clean Up Component Store (WinSxS folder) in Windows 10 ...and yeah, that's relatively normal. Once you run the DISM command with the ResetBase option.... you won't have to redo it for a loooong time. Last time I used the ResetBase option was like... over a year ago.

    I run this after every WU... (among other things it cleans out the LCU folder) Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup I only run this, if it recommends a cleanup... Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
