DISM error 4448, what file is "corrupted"

I'm unable to book Windows 10 (even in safe-mode). Lots of help posts suggest running DISM and SFC. But, 23.5%, I am getting error 4448, which I cannot resolve:

Error 4448: The WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file's Resource Table.

Is the error because my USB is a mismatched version of Win10? Is the "compressed file" referring to the g:\sources\install.esd file?

• .../source:wim:g:\sources\install.esd:6... with the same result
  
• I have ensured that I am using the dism command on the same drive as the esd file, same result
  
• I have tried it with other bootable Windows 10 install versions with the same result
  

 

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?
