Hello,
First, I'd like to thank you for the help here.
A couple days ago I started to diagnose an issue that I was having with upgrading to .NET 4.6 on my mother-in-law's computer. I noticed that she wasn't on 8.1 yet (or Windows 10 for that matter) and tried to do a windows update which is when I hit this issue. I have a feeling it's all related. After following the rabbit hole I saw some advice after much googling I ran SFC and DISM to try and fix the issue.
It appears that there is some corruption going on and after viewing a couple other similar threads in this forum I think I am having a similar issue. I ran SFCFix as instructed the other day and got the following output:
------SFCFix (2016-05-21 20'21'08.101).log----

I then ran it again today before posting this and got a slightly different output here:

I have also uploaded the CBS.zip as instructed. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help diagnose and resolve the issue.
Thanks again!!
