Windows Server 2012 - MMCs not working and missing Packages files


i have 3 windows server 2012 standard servers upon reboot are looping automatic repair option. these vms. luckily had snapshot of 2/3 before mayhem started happening. here problems far have spotted servers:

the windows server automatic repair option not work.

sfc /scannow not work (gives error of "could not perform requested operation")

i reviewed cbslog file sfc option , found said had missing packages.  went c:\windows\servicing\packages\ , directory empty with exception of wuindex.xml

i opened add/remove programs remove recent updates , doesn't show updates @ under "view installed updates".  it's blank list.

the following mmcs not working: event viewer, server manager, task scheduler

i have tried running regsvr32 kernelbase.dll won't register (tried both x86 , x64 path). 

i've tried looking @ c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config\ , have default files haven't been modified in months.

these production servers , don't know have caused issues arise on these servers.  i'd last 1 fixed.

hope guys have ideas, because, i've exhausted options point.

thanks in advance!
