Windows 10: Dism problem "The source files could not be found"

I don't know what is wrong in your end.
I just used the link after you posted this reply and the link worked.
See my screenshot....................

 

Wow, Microsoft doesn't like Chrome, but I still can't find the page from your screen shot.

From IE, I get a "General Information for https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench"

With several suggested urls, none of them techbench. this is the url that comes up when searching for ..../techbench

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench - Search Microsoft.com

 

Go to this old thread > use the link posted by Ztruker, post #1.
He is from US.

*** P.S. I use IE11.

 

If that is still a no go, open this tutorial ...................

Option One

 

I made IE11 my default browser, went to the 'old thread' clicked the link and got to the web page and download the iso, will try the repair in the morning, thanks!

(went back to Chrome as default *Smile)

 

Weird. Why only IE works for you in this seemingly simple task ?

P.S. I would save that Tech Bench link for future use, and I am sure you will need to.
A desktop shortcut, perhaps.

 

Ornithophilia,

What is your current status ?

 

Curiouser and curiouser, right clicking the iso file does not give me a Mount option:



The file name is "Win10_1511_2_English_x64.iso" with a size of 4,354,454 KB

 

rboppy,

Thanks again davidhk, Bitzipper had taken over the iso, got it straightened out and best of all got my system back "to normal". The problem I had was that the File History Recovery wasn't working, the corrupt file was opencl.dll and your suggestions were the only thing I tried that actually worked!*Party

 

Wonderful.
You are back in business.
Happy computing.

 

It said that the restore operation completed successfully. Do I need to restart my computer?

 

Assuming you were using this dism command ?
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:H:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

If yes, run the sfc /scannow again.
The result should be positive....... that it has found corrupt files and repaired successfully.

If that is the actual result, then you are done.
Restart is not necessary.

Please post back the result of sfc /scannow.

 

Ornithophilia,

This thread has been on for a long time.
Please post back the final result.
If your problem is resolved, please give it a closure and mark the thread as Solved.
That way, others having the same issue will know there is a solution in this thread.
Thank you.

 

I have recently experienced similar issues with "source not found" and error 0x800f891f. I followed the download instructions on Windows 10. That produced a valid iso file and even "mounted" it on a virtual volume (this is essential). You can find it on File Explorer.

After you see the file has been successfully downloaded, execute the following command from an elevated command prompt:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

Change E to the correct drive on your system. It worked for me, hope it works for you.
