Recommend fix to add to uvk

To uvk developers,
I would like to recommend a fix for UVK repair. Note that this fix is only applicable to Windows 10 Creators update release. I discovered that running "Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" would fail on the aforementioned operating system. No matter if it was run on a brand new os, no matter if the install media install wim was specified as the source, no matter what, the command would fail. You might ask yourself why this is. for the answer, look no further than Tweaking.com's Windows AIO repair tool. When running the pre-scan, the log outputs the following information concerning the Windows package files:
Scanning Windows Packages Files.
│ Started at (5/8/2017 12:55:25 PM)

│ These Files Are Possibly Corrupt (Bad Digital Signature): (Total: 1)
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.15063.0.mum
│
1 Combined Problems were found with the packages files, these files need to be replaced (These mainly only effect installing Windows Updates.)
│ The SFC (System File Checker) doesn't scan and replace some of these files, so you may need to replace them manually.
In other words, the creator's update for Windows 10 (laughably the latest "Stable" release of Windows 10) is broken right out of the box. The whole creator's update release has been a complete disaster in all honesty... Anyway, there is a fix for it, and it was a bitch to find, believe me. But the fix can be found here:

The solution: Just delete the references to the corrupt package file from the Windows registry. There are a total of 4 registry keys: 2 are located in both
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageIndex" and
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages". You will want to delete the two registry keys which contain the name of the corrupt package file: "Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package". You will have to edit the key permissions in order to do this, as you do not have the permissions by default. Once you delete those keys, then navigate to "C:\Windows\servicing\packages" and either move or delete the 4 files which also contain (and begin with) "Microsoft-Windows-TestRoot-and-FlightSigning-Package". Then, run the scan again and it will continue to completion (at least as long as nothing else is wrong). blog post can be found here:
