Great. the dism log is clean.

Open an elevated command prompt.
Copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each.

Code:

sfc /scannow

Wait for this to finish before you continue

Code:

copy %windir%\Logs\CBS\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"

This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Zip this file and attach the zipped cbs.txt to your next post.

Hello! Is there any news?

No. I haven't found the remaining files.
Do you have access to a Windows 8.1 x64 machine with the Russian language installed ?

Great. The cbs log looks clean.

Restart the computer.
Check Windows Update again and report the result.

Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.
