I joined this forum just to comment and hopefully get some decent, relevant help, on this exact issue.
My machine used to boot in under 30seconds before the Creator's Update. Now it takes over 3 minutes to get to the login screen, and another 3 minutes after I log in!
I did like others have done; ran sfc /scannow (came back good) and then dism command.
SFC /Scannow said no issues whatsoever.
DISM says there's one instance of corruption.
I've read and re-read the dang dism.log
I can't find a single reference to an actual file that is corrupted.
In desperation, I deleted the dism log file and re-ran dism.
It still claims there is corruption.
The dism.log file still doesn't appear to me to tell me what file is corrupt.
Is there another log file I should be examining?
I also checked the CBS.log file, and see it clearly states there is a single file that is corrupted... but once again, WHAT FILE!?!
I tried to get dism to use the media creation tool downloaded files to a USB drive-
I tried to get dism to use the DVD I burned from the media creation tool-
I tried to get dism to use the pristine, perfect, ISO file I downloaded directly from a nice M$ employee that tried to help me-
always says it can't find the sources.
So I decided to simply run setup.exe from the USB drive. It re-installed Windows 10 on top of itself. The problem is still there.
I wiped the whole dang drive and ran setup.exe from the USB drive. The problem is still there.
I wiped again, ran setup.exe from the DVD. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM.
I am so frustrated right now, as this is a 3 month old laptop that was totally dominating everything I had ever thrown at it. Stupid me, believing M$ when they said Game-Mode would increase FPS in GTA:V. Shortly after actually using that feature, the machine started having major issues. Now, I'm here!
