If Windows Update failed and DISM reports repairable corruption, the repair below can try Windows Update as its source. If RestoreHealth already failed with 0x800f081f, repeating it may not help: follow Microsoft's repair-source instructions with media matching your Windows installation.
Only if the check points to corruption
