Windows 10: DISM refuses to complete RestoreHealth even with a valid source.

Have tried all suggested methods from various sources.. Start with DISM /ScanHealth command which completed and returned a 'repairable' result, and then tried the /RestoreHealth, which had the error 0x800f081f source not found.Then performed the DISM command /StartComponentCleanup, which completed with sfc /scannow.. no apparent errors there. Retried /RestoreHealth, same problem.I understand that I should get the same image version as that quoted in the DISM results... so where do I get 10.0.19045.4710 from? I used another source, extracted from the Install. esd file from a W10 .iso of

DISM refuses to complete RestoreHealth even with a valid source.

Have tried all suggested methods from various sources.. Start with DISM /ScanHealth command which completed and returned a 'repairable' result, and then tried the /RestoreHealth, which had the error 0x800f081f (source not found).

Then performed the DISM command /StartComponentCleanup, which completed with sfc /scannow.. no apparent errors there. Retried /RestoreHealth, same problem.

I understand that I should get the same image version as that quoted in the DISM results... so where do I get 10.0.19045.4710 from?

I used another source, extracted from the Install. esd file from a W10 .iso of 22h2 version, but also same result when specifying this .wim file. The .esd file was dated 15 September 2023.

Is there any other way of forcing this RestoreHealth to actually work or do we have to do a "Repair Install" Updating with the option of keeping files and settings??

 

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?
