    Just another failure of current day Microsoft. Something that worked fine before you **** tried to download Windows 11 onto my 4 year old PC. Thanks a lot. And thanks for my memory leak. I love that dodging updates for 4 years did nothing, but suddenly after your **** new OS dropped: I’ve now got a memory leak.

  3. Replacing corrupt files

    Hello,

    Error: 0x800f081f can occur when an alternative installation source is specified and one of the following conditions is true:

    • The location that is specified by the path does not contain the files that are required to install the feature.
    • The user who tries to install the feature does not have at least READ access to the location and to the files.
    • The set of installation files is corrupted, incomplete, or invalid for the version of Windows that you are running.

    To fix this problem, make sure that the full path of the source is correct (x:\sources\sxs) and that you have at least Read access to the location. To do this, try to access the source directly from the affected computer. Verify that the installation source
    contains a valid and complete set of files. If the problem persists, try to use a different installation source.

    To resolve the issue, kindly follow the steps below.

    • Download the Windows Media Creation tool, and create an ISO image locally, or create an image for the version of Windows that you have installed.
    • Configure the Group Policy as in Method 2, but also follow these steps:
      • Mount the ISO image that's created in step 1.
      • Point the Alternate source file path to the ISO sources\sxs folder from the ISO.
      • Run the gpupdate /force command.
      • Add the .Net framework feature.

    Check if that resolves the issue.

    Your response to the solution will be highly appreciated.

    • Press Windows + X and select device manager.

    1. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    5. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
