Problem with Windows Update => Update blocked after Tweaking Windows repair

That one file shouldnt cause the problem. For me, on the test system in vmware I got the identical problem you have when I removed all the registry keys under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Components (This one only shows up in regedit when you run windows updates, otherwise it isnt loaded)

Those are the two main registry locations windows uses to install the updates, when they get messed up then windows updates will simply fail.

Have you checked the cbs.log file yet to see if it gives any info?

As the sfc /scannow failed to run, open a command prompt as an admin again and enter chkdsk /r

It will tell you that it cannot be run while the volume is mounted and prompt you to type and enter y

When you've done this enter exit to close the command window then reboot and let it do its thing.

This has 5 stages and can take a while to complete if it finds corruption.

To view the chkdsk report after it has completed and rebooted, go Start - type eventvwr and press enter.

This will open Event Viewer - when it has read the logs, expand Windows Logs - click on Applications - Action - Find then type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.

Close the Find box and use the scrollable window to read the report.

You can post that by clicking on Copy/Copy details as text in the lower right pane.
