Windows 10: DISM error

My laptop had a lot of corrupted files after I accidentally switched off the wrong switch.


I ran DISM restore health, the following was returned.


C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth


Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.771

Image Version: 10.0.17763.805

[===========================83.8%================ ]
Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.
Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.


The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I don't seem to understand what it means and the site that it is directing, what should I do?

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.
