Windows 10: DISM missing source files

I used DISM restore health but it gave me back a reply that im missing source files Can I know how to fix this issue?

:)

 

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.

 

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:





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?

Both Dism and Health Image fail, reporting missing source files

I'm trying to repair a W10 installation, and so I ran Dism. Unfortunately it fails, and reports that it can't locate the source files -

Error - cannot locate the source files:




The example I used for running Dism:




File Explorer, showing drive G, which was used when I ran Dism:





I then used Image Health tool instead. Unfortunately, this fails too, with the same issue -





I'm not sure if this is important, but the instructions for the Image Health tool says -Step 2: Right-Click IMAGE_HEALTH.CMD > Select Properties > Select Unblock
When I right clicked on this .cmd file, I couldn't see an option/property that said "Unblock" -

Thanks a lot for any advice on this issue!
