Hi,

The backstory:
One app wasn't working so I went to the windows store to fix/reinstall it. Except I noticed the store wasn't working (it said the store is "unavailable" and to try again later). I did exactly that and waited but the issue is still here so I started digging into it.
I tried the microsoft troubleshooting tool, without success (despite it saying whatever issue it found is fixed).
Next, I tried WSReset, without success.
And then the following: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
But the store still doesn't work.

As a result, I'm now trying to use DISM and SFC but I get the error 0x800f0906 when running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
Both /CheckHealth and /ScanHealth work fine and only say components are repairable.
SFC /scannow detects corrupt files but can't fix them.
SFCFix managed to fix one issue, it seems (see the attached files).

I don't have the windows DVD of this machine, nor an offline image, to specify as a source for DISM, so I'm kinda at a loss at what to do.
As a side note, in case it's important, I had to run the above in safe mode because both /ScanHealth and /RestoreHealth ended up hanging at 20% in normal mode.

I attached all files I thought relevant, tell me if you need anything else.
(I can't seem to retrieve the Components Hive, if you need it. It keep saying it's in use even after rebooting)

Small update:
After getting a Win 8.1 iso from microsoft website, I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:F:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
I now have the error 0x800f081f
If my understanding is correct, the iso is missing some updates related to those files:

I'll restart now
 
Reboot done. Windows update seems to work just fine, at first glance.
 
Good. Please attach the zipped cbs.log to verify.
 
I didn't have time to rerun DISM nor SFC, tell me if I need (or don't need) to

Does Windows Update list any important updates that can be installed ?
