Windows 10 while it is running you can check and fix components and the
component store. (this goes far beyond of the capabilities of SFC.exe)
Instructions:
a. Start cmd.exe from start menu
with right click as Admin (very important!)b. Or Win + X Command Prompt (Admin)
You see now in the command prompt: C:\Windows\system32\
1. Check if errors are in the
registry:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
2. Check if errors are in Windows
Components Store
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
3. Repair the registry and
component store (you need online connection to Windows Update!)
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
If the repair is done you can double check with no2. again (/ScanHealth
option)
If there are still errors you can use the components from the ISO media or
the installation DVD:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
/source:wim:C:\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
ATTENTION you may need to adjust /source:wim:C:\install.wim:1
Probably the C: is not the drive to the install.wim. It might be e.g. D:\sources\install.wim

If you need the media as you have no media. You may download it here. This
also allows you to upgrade to a newer version if you are running an older one.
