Have you tested your memory and disk for problems?

I would double check your ISO and re-install Windows again then

I have had same problem. I have had that problem for the last two major updates. Once I do sfc /scannow and told there are errors, I will then run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and then run sfc /scannow again all in the same command. That usually solves the problem.

Are you running it in powershell. I get it telling me I have corrupt files though it and yet not if I use an admin command prompt.

I had this same problem, turned out to be some kind of malware. It changed my host file, rendered defender inoperable, hollowed my processes and I think it root kitted me. I'm currently waiting on new internet equipment because it got my ipadress and it used the terminal services exploit. I'd poke around if I were you. Look for random temp files, check your host file, Use TCPView and see what it going on Port wise.
