## Function: Invoke-WPFPanelDISM

    function Invoke-WPFPanelDISM {
        <#

        .SYNOPSIS
            Checks for system corruption using Chkdsk, SFC, and DISM

        .DESCRIPTION
            1. Chkdsk    - Fixes disk and filesystem corruption
            2. SFC Run 1 - Fixes system file corruption, and fixes DISM if it was corrupted
            3. DISM      - Fixes system image corruption, and fixes SFC's system image if it was corrupted
            4. SFC Run 2 - Fixes system file corruption, this time with an almost guaranteed uncorrupted system image

        .NOTES
            Command Arguments:
                1. Chkdsk
                    /Scan - Runs an online scan on the system drive, attempts to fix any corruption, and queues other corruption for fixing on reboot
                2. SFC
                    /ScanNow - Performs a scan of the system files and fixes any corruption
                3. DISM      - Fixes system image corruption, and fixes SFC's system image if it was corrupted
                    /Online - Fixes the currently running system image
                    /Cleanup-Image - Performs cleanup operations on the image, could remove some unneeded temporary files
                    /Restorehealth - Performs a scan of the image and fixes any corruption
