Windows 10: DISM /restorehealth error 0x800f081f

0



I have a user who has a Lenovo notebook recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.
He complained that it is very sluggish and Internet Explorer is extremely sluggish since the upgrade to Windows 10. I ran SFC /scannow with this result:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.
I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess pointed to a USB drive with a fresh download of Windows 10 on it. I get this result:
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 Configure a Windows Repair Source.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Here are the errors from the log file:

DISM ‘restorehealth’ error 0x800f081f

16299 is what is important the .248 or other doesn't matter with dism the original dism.exe will stay the same 16299.15 until the Spring build is finalized about the end of april. Then its number might be 180xx.15

Problem looks like you are actually missing a windows file & running Dism against the iso hopefully will replace that missing or corrupt file with a new copy from the iso.

 

DISM ‘restorehealth’ error 0x800f081f

So you're saying that if I did do the media creation tool, then created an ISO then did the instructions that you gave me will fix the problem?

And also can I save the iso file (the created Windows ISO) in a drive is that is not empty?

 

check out the link in my sig below

 

Microsoft Outlook (Office 2007)

Latest Error message 0x800f081f which according to Microsoft is not Relevant to Win10 but refers to Win 7

Everything was working fine, then

Store stopped opening just get a quick flash on screen

Tried various suggested “fixes”

Sf/scannow came back with not being able to find source files

DISM Scan health and restore health came back with the error 0x800f081f (See comments above)

Now Edge will not open at all and I could not open my PDF attachments – message - invalid value for registry
Have changed defaults to Firefox for the Internet connection and Adobe Reader for the PDF files – this appears to be working

After three days of almost continuous command line entries and laptop restarts Cannot remember anything else

 

Assuming you are using Win 10 version 10586

You need the Install.wim which can be obtained by downloading the ISO from Tech Bench.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/techbench


Once you have the iso downloaded, right click at the ISO > click Mount > leave it there.
( note : no need to burn the iso to a dvd or usb. Not needed for this operation.)

Then open the elevated command prompt and copy and paste this................

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:H:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

Note : H is the drive where the iso is mounted. Change it if your driver letter is different.

When it is completed, you should get the report that the operation is successful.
Now run the sfc /scannow again. It should be ok this time.

 

Downloaded the ISO was not given any option to mount. Copied the command successfully and got message saying success then ran sfc /scannow which was also successful. restarted laptop but still no store and Edge blue screen stays on screen for a lot longer before disappearing. Where to now?

 

Suggestion only :

Do a repair install.
It will allow you to keep your files, settings and apps.
Activation will be automatic.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Since you already have the current iso downloaded, please use Step 4.

 

have carried out Repair Install Win 10 with in place upgrade .Still no Store or Edge?

 

Will you hate me or even curse at me if I ask you to do a Clean Install ?

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html
During the clean install, if you were asked to enter product key, just click the SKIP option.
After clean install is completed, activation will be automatic.

 

Have previously tried this option but will try again later this morning. Have been in front of screen now for six hours and it is 2.00am. Signing off for now but I do appreciate any assistance offered

 

Back in the saddle again-Tried to do a clean install from a memory stick (brand new never been used) but unsuccessful. Did not matter which partition I chose kept getting same message-Windows cannot be installed on this drive. Think I must be missing some major step in the process?

 

I am afraid I don't know how to assist you any further.
Sorry.

 

I had this happen to me and it was caused by using a USB3 stick. Using a USB2 stick enabled the installation to proceed. What happens was that the installer looks at all off the disks in your system, including the USB stick where it's running from and if it can not find drivers for it it craps out. Silly but that's what it does. I hope the solves your problem.

 

Yes I am using a USB 3 stick bought specifically for this exercise,(supposed to be "backward compatible" with USB 2.

Any suggestions other than buying another stick USB 2 this time?
