    How to get damn DISM to work?

    Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

    After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.

    DISM command /RestoreHealth unable to find source files

    I am unable to perform SFC Scan or DISM Restore Health Successfully.

    Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Build 19043.1083.

    • sfc /scannow finds corruption its unable to fix.
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
      • Results in "The component store is repairable
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
      • Results in "The component store is repairable"
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
      • Results in "The Source files could not be found"
    I've downloaded what I believe to be the correct .iso file for the version of Windows I am running/needing. See below:


    DISM cannot find the file specified c13aa991-1a35-41d6-a39f-eda2b3a191d8?upload=true.png


    Mounting the .iso file to F: and pointing DISM to use its install.wim file is also failing.

    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:F:\Sources\install.wim
    • Results in "The source files could not be found".
    Could anyone help me decipher the log files?

    Log File of DISM command without source specified:
    Error

    Log File of DISM command with source specified:

    Error

    Can't get SFC and DISM to work anymore on Win10

    have you tried specifying the source for DISM? We have had a few computers at work give the unable to find source error on Online DISM
