DISM, SFC and Windows Update Broken

[myousufi]

Hello,
My windows update is giving me 0x800700C1. My problems are quite similar to these threads:

[SOLVED] - [10v1703b15063 x64] WU 0x800700C1, DISM error 193
[SOLVED] - [10ProV1511b10586 x64] Can't upgrade, DISM Error 193, sfc finds nothing

I have attached my DISM logs and CBS logs and the SFCFix log and the cmd errors when I run SFC and DISM are also listed below. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have done the service starting steps for sfc but they don't work.

It would appear that some files important to SFC and DISM are corrupt.

Hello,

Thank you for reply. Unfortunately the problems got really severe in my windows installation and I had to do a complete reinstall of it. Thank you for your help nonetheless!
