Until Denis gets back, let's see if we can clean up that SFC with error.
At an Admin command prompt, copy/paste this and run it.
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Then, re-run your SFC /scannow to see if will repair the errors.
I'm now tied up with something else but I didn't want to leave you dangling -
SFC logs - my consolidated ditty on SFC errors [WD update problem] - TenForums - look under my heading Extracting SFC results from the CBS.log
SFC-DISM - TenForumsTutorials, the link I gave you before, includes guidance on fixing things. {I have only just noticed tomcat's post - the command he suggests is covered in the tutorial as well]
You can get the ISO [for free, all Windows 10 updates are free] using the guidance in How to Download a Windows 10 ISO File - TenForumsTutorials - then you can use the Repair install - TenForumsTutorials procedure I gave you before to do the updating [an alternative name for Repair install is In-Place Upgrade, it is a very powerful tool].
You ought to make a system image beforehand. See my Macrium ditty, links - TenForums You ought to make system images regularly.
Why have you not updated already? Has there been a problem?
I have to go but will check in again later.

TC,
I had not seen your post when I posted my last. I have now added the comment that the guidance in the tutorial matches what you have proposed.
I agree with your suggestion.

Hi there
why not simply do
diskpart
list disk
select disk nn <nr of your usb drive / disk)
list volume
select volume nn <the data partition on the usb drive)
assign
exit
job done
Cheers

jimbo,
That issue has already been fixed. We are now focussing on SFC & on version updates.

I ran the clean up image and restore health.
I want to run the SFC command again.
When looking at the instructions, it says to run this, with the boot drive letter:
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=D:\windows
But I don't have a letter next to the boot drive:
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 D DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 2 System Rese NTFS Partition 549 MB Healthy System
Volume 3 C NTFS Partition 930 GB Healthy Boot
Ben a while since reading this thread, but I think all you need is the simple version of that command since you've done the cleanup.
You ran the DISM cleanup on your OS on C:, so just open a command prompt and type sfc /scannow, Enter.
That particular form of the SFC command is just for use if you have booted from something other than your normal Windows.
- You can see the instructions for yourself in an admin comamnd window by entering SFC /?
- You can also see them at SFC - MSDocs
- You will use the normal form of the command SFC /ScanNow almost all the time
and anyway, your Windows drive appears to be listed as your C drive, which is to be expected if you have booted into Windows normally

Thanks for the responses.
I ended up not having to run SFC ScanNow again.
It looks like after doing the restore health, I can now eject a drive in Windows Explorer again, and the drive name and space parameters now disappear again, just like before.
I'm marking this as solved.
