No 7. 8 8.1 are all ok because they are all windows.
Also this thread is suppose to be about the update Microsoft sent.
That is all I am saying

Completely with you - the OS is nothing more than an enabler; it's the software you install and run that is the point of having a PC. If every time Windows 10 crashes (freezes / BSODs / etc etc) and the answer is do a clean OS install plus reinstall of all apps, games etc (or even waste another 10 minutes while sfc /scannow thinks about things), it seriously diminishes the value of the PC.
After finally managing to get a clean bill of health from sfc a few days ago, I foolishly installed a PCIe WiFi card which appears to work OK, but I'm now getting intermittent Win10 crashes/freezes again. And once again sfc is claiming that files are corrupted than can't be fixed. DISM says it hasn't got the necessary source files to fix it etc etc. Am I left with yet another clean install? I despair!
Your post just sounded a little gruff to me and pushed my buttons a bit. I can do quit a bit on my Pi that I can't do on my Windows PC. It's far from being "some system that you cant do nothing with". It will also run Windows 10 IoT, but when running that OS it actually is "some system that you cant do nothing with". Verry very limited compared to what I can do on it when running Linux. Anyway, I'll say no more on that subject and let things go back on track.
So far I am quite happy with windows 10 pro on my hp nc6400 laptop. it runs much faster and smoother than windows 7 pro did. I also have a mac mini desktop at home and windows 10 works almost as good as el capatain does for me on my mini. I have tried several different versions of Linux and really have a real dislike for it.
Have you saved an ISO somewhere ?
If yes, please mount it.
Then go to elevated command prompt and copy/paste this...............
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:H:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
Note: H is the letter where the iso is mounted. If yours is not H, change it.
If you get your iso from MCT, you will get Install.esd instead of Install.wim.
In that case, Dism will return with the same message..... source file not found.
Solution, download the iso file from Tech Bench which will give you the Install.wim shown from the Sources folder.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this a go this evening... Anything to avoid another clean OS Install!
Out of interest, I have an original retail MS Windows 10 Home install USB stick, and another USB stick I created myself from MCT for the 1511 update. I get it that the 1511 USB I created with MCT won't work with DISM, but will the MS original Win10 Home install USB work? Or is it best to download and virtual-mount the latest ISO from Tech Bench in order to get the most up-to-date file versions? I'm assuming the latter...
You will never know because nobody is going to tell you. Maybe you'll find out that some bug was introduced that will probably be fixed with another update of which you will also have no clue what it does...
Sorry but this situation is unbearable to me. If MS does not adapt it's update information policy I'll have to quit Windows sooner or later. I simply cannot stand using a computer to store all my personal data and not knowing what MS does with it. I simply cannot trust such an operating system.
