    I've added my DISM.log, CheckSUR.log, and WindowsUpdate.log, if that helps. Any help is appreciated.

    You are having problems with the Windows Event Log services.
    Code:
    (w) Unable to open Event Log 0x000006B5 Application  OpenEventLog failed: 0x000006B5 - The interface is unknown.
.
(w) Unable to open Event Log 0x000006B5 System  OpenEventLog failed: 0x000006B5 - The interface is unknown.
    I've met this problem a few times - and sometimes it's caused by interfering software, rather than file corruption. What backup software are you using?

    The following error -ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT - appears over 32000 times in the CBS.log file alone.

    I would suggest that you have a look at the following thread - the prognosis is not good
