The one time I used that official forum I did my due diligence and laid out what I ended up doing to solve my problem as well as responding to the other person with a similar one. I am not DenverCoder9.

Unrealistic. Every repair on Windows starts with DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow
