Thanks Kevin. I found info to run the system file checker awhile ago but no info on how to fix corrupt files – until I found your page. So I’ve run SFC again and got the message: “…found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them…” I then entered the command: “Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth” as you suggested.
It completed the command (shows 100%), but now I get a new error message:
"Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found. Use the “Source” option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specificying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source | Microsoft Learn
Any suggestions?

Thank you
