I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard on a server in our office. Was trying to run windows updates, after a few went through and succeeded I started to receive Error Code 80070246. Upon trying to run dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth I receive error code 582 An illegal character was encountered. For a multi-byte character set this includes a lead byte without succeeding trail byte. For the Unicode character set this includes the characters 0xFFFF and 0xFFFE. After days of trying several different repairs I finally stumbled upon your amazing website. I tried running your SFCFix.exe tool and the log is below;

I need to state that the tool did not complete on it's own, as I once again encountered the 582 error code. I used Ctrl C; and this log was then generated on the desktop. After browsing your site a little more I thought it would benefit to run the BitShift:: script for which I received the following log which seemed to list several more corrupt registry entries. that log is below;

I tried uploading the CBS logs per instructions but it appears to be too large. I have them in my OneDrive - the link to that is right here;

I am willing to try anything to get this fixed as I need to get this server updated to R2 as well as updating all of my .net components. Thanks for any help that is provided!
