Hello; I hope I haven't missed anything relevant, looking thru the forum before posting this issue, as it is a variation of the trouble with (I guess) fdeploy.dll, fde.dll, gpedit.dll, gptext.dll covered in several threads already here and elsewhere. Most occurences got solved by repair installs (on older systems); more tenacious instances by per individualized applications of SFCFix, the beacon which drew me to this place. Sadly, I haven't been able to get SFCFix to do an analysis on my end; otherwise I would have already included the information provided by that.
Situation
Where I'm stuck now
Situation
After having messed up my system (details further below), I seem to have managed to get most of it back to working nominally per installation of the latest upgrade available from Access Denied - so far, so nice.
[*=1]DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restore Health finished successfully after that according to prompt.
However:
[*=1]sfc /scannow still complains about corrupted files (which was part of what caused me to go thru the upgrade in the first place).
[*=1]The corrupted files are the 4 listed above, according to cbs.log.
Observable effects (at least the ones I am currently aware of:)
[*=1]Windows diagnostic services are inoperable, coming back with the famous (German version of) "The problem cannot be diagnosed due to a problem" (potentially not translated verbatim here; my system runs in German). As far as I could ascertain so far, this affects all problem-solving subtools coming with Windows (under System/Settings > TroubleShooting or whatever it's called on English versions; you'll probably know which one/s I mean).
Where I'm stuck now
[*=1]Looking for help I found your forum and SFCFix and tried running it for analysis. But I must be doing something wrong, since I only get this as result:
SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro.

I have tried launching it from various locations (c:\ as well as C:\Windows\Logs\CBS), from an elevated cmd prompt as well as thru a "Run As Administrator" pointer; all to no avail. The CBS.log does exist tho, and I can provide it, if this should shed relevant light.
How should I be running this to get meaningful results to share here?
Thank you very much for your help in advance + kind regards;

- I'll give it a go and let you know how it went. If you hear not back from me, we have imploded, my machine and I 
Cheers!
