Since I have seen "both" recommended as a first step, and since the correct sequence is not defined anywhere that I can find, here's my take on this subject:
Run sfc /scannow (first)
This will attempt to fix any corruption from the resident component store
(Note: internet access is not required)
If the above is unsuccessful:
Run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This will attempt to fix any corruption from an online Windows Update source
(Note: internet access is required and may take a considerable amount of time on slow connections)
Hopefully, if OK:
Run sfc /scannow (again)
This will verify that DISM was successful in repairing the errors
Your thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
