Part of an answer of Microsoft on a problem with dwm.exe (see my topic W10 on small / marginal systems) is run sfc/scannow. That was a disaster, when I returned after an hour or so, I found my PC trying to install W10 TP 10041. I just rebooted, it told me that it could not install and all looks normal now.

My question
Maybe my installation is corrupt, maybe sfc/scannow is broken (maybe even both are corruped) so I really like to know if anyone of you successfully ran sfc on build 10041?

Added:
Maybe the scan interferred with the automatic installation of 10049......

Build 10049 SFC works fine:
An image from 'Windows 10 -10041, sfc/scannow, really?'. Windows Command Prompt shows sfc /scannow completed with corrupt files repaired successfully.

Forget this question, it was interfering with the installation of 10049...

Sorry
