I'm glad we could help.
You came here saying "I very strongly suspect that what happened is that I
deleted a required security certificate...The SFC fails to run... Diagnostic
steps to identify the missing certificate...?" Like it or not, the article
I posted is the answer to the question you asked.
The article you posted has nothing to do with the question you asked and is
just a series of links to Microsoft Windows Update and Microsoft-provided
patches. Given the way you ripped me a new one when you thought I was
suggesting you reboot, I'm certain you would also have ripped me a new one
had I or anyone here suggested you reinstall the Windows service packs and
patches, since that would be "trivially obvious."
You came here with a big chip on your shoulder from your initial post. I
can't take your anger and disgust at us too seriously considering you were
angry and disgusted when you first got here. That chip on your shoulder was
based on your erroneous beliefs on how PKI certificate expiration works, but
you suggest repeatedly that it is we who are not understanding your
certificate problem.

That's right, you're the intrepid hero, and Microsoft is the mustachioed
villain trying to make sure your computer doesn't work. And when your
certificates stopped working, that's Microsoft's fault for "redefining the
meaning" of PKI certificate expiration. When you can't find the canned peas
in the grocery store, is that because the grocery store hid them?

Failed in finding what? Windows Update? That's basically what your link
is.

That's just more paranoid nonsense. That site has been up for years, and
the MVPs frequently point people to that site here.
