Since a Microsoft update f*cked up conhost on my system (unicode not shown), I took openconsole.exe and after some manual testing I substituted it to conhost.exe

My system works perfectly (Windows 10 Education).

SO why not release openconsole so that it installs instead of the original conhost?
In that way sfc /scannow will not try to overwrite it and so will DISM.
