I have my suspicions on how to fix this, I just want to make sure I'm right.

dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth /scratchdir:C:\Scratch /Source:WIM:C:\Source\Install.wim:2

From my DISM log.

C:\Source\Install.wim is a known good 14393 WIM from installation ISO. This is Home edition so I'm using Index:2.

My suspicion is that I should be able to patch the WIM with the MSU updates and try the DISM again. Any thoughts, DaniWeb?

rproffitt: There are prior discussions about this. Example where they went with an in-place upgrade:
https://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/23170-sfc-corrupt-files-2.html

Which is a great idea except I was stuck in the Recovery Console. I ended up copying some known good files from the WinSXS folder to clear up the CSI Payload Corrupt errors. Couldn't figure out the manifest errors.

For some reason the Windows Boot Manager wouldn't boot from a USB so I tried enabling it from BIOS. Hilariously, the USB didn't boot but Windows finally did.

I'm still wrestling with it. Now I'm trying to get the Creators Update, but it keeps failing. DISM and SFC both report success. The Update Troubleshooter reported success then failure. Now I'm going for an in-place upgrade.

commented: I'm staying tuned. +0

Finally deleted $Windows.BT and the Creators Update went through. Laptop seems to be working fine now.
