@isted2454  It looks like sfc did its job, which is all I needed to see on that front.  The error you've posted is the one associated with 12th-gen Intel processors, so you'll need to apply one of the workarounds in the thread I linked, and specifically apply it to TS3.exe, without the W.  If the patch doesn't work, try disabling your antivirus and running it again.  If the PowerShell script doesn't work, you might need to update PowerShell, as described here:
