Thanks Csaba. I'm still trying to get a system running enough to be
able to use those tools <gasp>. I have a Win10 recovery USB and a Win10
bootable ISO but have not had much luck even on the command line. Still
trying.

I had some serious corruption due to the failing system SSD. This was a
Win 2012R2, but WIn10 has this functionality too:
1. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
This restores any corrupted *backup* of system packages
2. sfc /SCANNOW
This restores the system based on the backup packages.
This brought my system back alive and working since then.

If you run into this, CheckSUR is only for pre Win8:

Use DISM.
I haven't tried this, maybe worth a look:

Helping a neighbor with a dead Win10 system. Cut to chase - the
Windows partition is corrupt. Mind you, of the 900GB allocated,
only 46GB are used.
First thought was to try to make a copy of the disk with clonezilla.
Lesson one, overcome the "hibernate" crap that Win10 now uses to
speed start up. Go change your settings now to do a full power off
and not just hibernate. I'll demonstrate at the LinuxFest, December
3...
There is a lovely package of utilities (in Ubuntu at least) called
ntfs3g. Therein are programs such as ntfsclone and ntfsresize. I
secondly reduced the size of the Win10 partition, in part to fit
other drives I have laying around. Thirdly, I attempted to complete
my disk copy effort (having disk to disk copied all of the "sda"
partitions with clonezilla) with ntfsclone --rescue. That happened
and the bad sectors were noted.
At this point, the Windows boot loader doesn't have a clue trying to
boot from "sdb." Next thought is to try to set up a dual boot
system so that maybe grub will boot Win10...
Oh, and did you know that fdisk doesn't speak GPT? Such is progress.
