DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This is the advanced version of sfc /scannow. Windows now downlaods the corrupted files from the Internet instead of telling you that the files can't be repaired. http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/archive/2012/09/26/fixing-component-store-corruption-in-windows-8-and-windows-server-2012.aspx
