I ran (offline) CHKDSK f: /offlinescanandfix - found no error.
Then, I ran (offline) SFC /scan /offbootdir=f:\ /offwindir=f:\windows - found errors but could not fix
Finally I ran (online) DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:d:\sources /limitaccess - found errors and corrected them.
Even though the corruptions were fixed by DISM, installing KB3055999 using the Windows Update application failed!
I repeated the process above, and even though the corruptions were fixed by DISM, installing KB3055999 using the standalone package failed!
So, there's nothing I can do; it's the WUTeam that needs to fix the update.
What else can I do, besides asking for a KB3055999 (and any other) fixed?
