Have an issue with a Server 2016 Server where rebuilding from scratch would be very painful and hoping someone might have any useful ideas.
Currently the server is running .NET 4.7.1. Any attempt to uninstall .NET or upgrade is met with a Corrupted Store error, yet when I run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth it comes back clean. I got Error 2 when running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup but was able to run it using the offline mode (my OS is in an VHDX file). And I've run /Restore in offline mode as well. When I run SFC /scannow it comes back clean. I've run chkdsk and it comes back clean. I am able to install Cumulative Updates to the OS, and other hotfixes with no issues. It appears to only be .NET. I can run SFCFIX.exe but it never completes after showing 100% for the first DISM command, and doesn't generate the log. I'm leaving SFCFIX.exe running for as long as possible to see if maybe it will eventually finish.
