    dism restorehealth cannot find source files


    Hello
    I have a laptop which has some problems with corruption. After sfc /scannow I did run dism../RestoreHealth and it returned the above error.
    I do not have the initial install disk and the version is 1803 /17134.950 so my question is if I can use the image(obviously way more recent} I have just downloaded through MediaCreationTool1903?
    Thanks in advance

    :)

    How to get damn DISM to work?

    Yes, I have the image mounted, the same bloody image I've used to install the OS I'm just using. This is absurd. I've tried this:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\x64\sources\install.esd
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd /limitaccess
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\sources\install.esd:1 /limitaccess

    None of this crap works even though entire freaking internet is saying that this is the way to do it. Some even mention using quotas for the path which makes no difference (It doesn't need it anyway since there aren't any spaces anyway.

    I just can't understand how can OS integrity check tool feature be dumber as years pass by instead of being smarter and more useful.

    EDIT:
    Redownloading 4 gigs of stupid image because the one I have apparently isn't good enough. *sigh*

    Error DISM restorehealth


    twp things..

    Executing command line: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:"D:\Users\Hali\Downloads\IMAGE_HEALTH\IMAGE_HEALTH_SXS\Temp\Mount\windows\winsxs" /LimitAccess

    Place the "Image_health" folder on C - you are running the command 9 folders deep...
    Place Image_health-sxs.cmd inside "image_health" folder
    Image health sxs cmd was and is only a TEST cmd
    Image-health is the normal cmd...

    [removed]

    "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" post the CBS.log

    Also dism /scanhealth gives a better file report in the dism.log

    Your damaged files appear to be that from a windows update, as windows update files are not on setup media..

    step 1 delete current dism and cbs log files
    step 2 run Image_Health.cmd - option 1 = scanhealth
    step 3 run Image health - option 2 = restorehealth
    step 4 run image health - option 3 = restorehealth /source
    step 5 post dism.log and cbs.log (note: you can post logs as .txt > cbs.txt dism.txt)

    dism restorehealth cannot find source files

    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.

    in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade
    Dism RestoreHealth requires source option to specify the location of files: Windows 10 is starting very slowly and the Dism command shows an error that can not be fixed without a source file. Where do I get the source file? Thank you, Gary...
