    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:


    DISM, /source, Where is the source files held on the computer after DISM.exe process? c13aa991-1a35-41d6-a39f-eda2b3a191d8?upload=true.png


    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?

    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.

    Can't get SFC and DISM to work anymore on Win10

    have you tried specifying the source for DISM? We have had a few computers at work give the unable to find source error on Online DISM
