Windows 10: DISM and OS aren't the same version

I'm running Windows 10 Home 21H2, Image Version: 10.0.19044.1645. When I try using DISM it says "Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.19041.844". I have been reading up on using the tools built into the system because I have been having a variety of issues with how it runs, none of which are permanently solved no matter what steps I follow. I have been experiencing system hangs, difficulty with updates and troubleshooters seem to be worthless so maybe they aren't up-to-date either? Troubleshooting with check disk, SFC, and DISM only does so much and doesn't last long a

Icons from apps aren´t displayed correctly

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query at Microsoft community.

Do the apps work fine apart form the icons not displaying correctly? If so I would suggest you to run an SFC scan and check if it helps. If the issue persists you may run DISM command and check.

Follow this steps:

• • 
    Press Windows+X.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    
  • 
    Type the command SFC /SCANNOW and
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit
    Enter.
    

Hope the information provided was helpful and do let us know if you need any assistance in the future. We will be glad to help.

The native apps from the system are all showing this strange square instead of the normal icons. Please help resolve this problem. Thanks

 

Source to use for DISM on Windows 10

This is not completely true. The suggestion is to download the Techbench version and use DISM to apply to install.wim directly. However, you can also use the version download from MCT except it will involve an extra step as follows:

1. Use the latest version of 7-Zip to extract the content of install.esd. For example: to a folder xxx on the desktop
2. From Admin command prompt:
   Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\xxx\windows /LimitAccess

See screen shot, the contents of install.wim and install.esd are exactly the same.
