CMD > run as admin > enter "sfc /scannow" without quotes then update should work again.

Next time anyone runs into a similar problem you might just want to zip the file before deleting it put a password if you AV still reports it. Or just get rid of your AV software it clearly su*ks if it reports legit system files.

The article doesn't mention an AV software, but a vulnerability assessment solution. Its purpose is to report known vulnerabilities and it would suck, if it did not report known vulnerabilities in system files out of fear of a downstream PEBKAC.

One of the very few times 'sfc /scannow' actually fixes something...

And after that "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" to make sure everything is fine and dandy.

Actually the reverse.

Run DISM first, then SFC.

If you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, first run the inbox Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool prior to running the System File Checker. (If you are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, skip to Step 3.)
