My DISM doesn't have the scanhealth option, an error is displayed when I try to run it

I seem to have that problem a lot of people are having with installing the security update for .NET 3.5 (KB2789650). I kept getting an 0x80073712 error so I tried following some of the recommendations I found here but they didn't work. I was able to turn

the .NET 3.5 features on myself through the windows update window in the control panel, but the update still wouldn't install.

I can't even open the windows update window anymore, it keeps freezing. I tried to troubleshoot it and fix the windows update and this is what I got:

Issues found

Potential Windows Update Database error detected 0x80073712 Not fixed

Repair Windows Update Database Corruption Failed

Possible issues may prevent Windows Update from keeping your system up to

date.

Rebuild the Windows Update Database and restart Windows Update services

Error1

Access to the path 'C:Windowssoftwaredistribution' is denied.

Then I tried to do the scan health stuff DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth but I got this error:

Then I entered DISM.exe/? and this is what it showed me:

I'm really frustrated with all of this, is there any possible way to fix this without refreshing my pc? I rather not have to reinstall all my programs again. Even the system recover makes my computer freeze up.

I would really appreciate the help!
