Windows 10: DISM "The remote procedure call failed." error when trying to repair windows install

The command i run is:

Dism /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\InstallWIM\windows /LimitAccess

On 23.4% every time (almost every time, occasionally it's 23.3%) i get:

The remote proceedure call failed.
An error occurred closing a servicing component in the image.
Wait a few minutes and try running the command again.
​

It's also worth noting i get a warning message telling me that the scratch directory size might be insufficient (it says the recommended size is 1024mb) before it displays the loading bar.

I'm running it from the windows recovery CMD, and i can't start up windows, even in safe mode.

This is the log it gives me (Starting from where it says one of my previous ones ended, since apparently the whole thing is too long) Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cant open pictures. Remote procedure call failed


Hello community,

I have a really frustrating problem with Windows 10 N (fresh installation, no upgrade from 7) and I'd really appreciate your help!

I'm getting this error:


... when I try to open any picture (jpeg, gif).

I have followed different forum topics for solutions and so far I:
- Double checked that RPC service is running & on automatic. RPC Locator is not started & on manual
- Previously had some issues with opencl.dll being corrupted, but following Kyhi's suggestions here:
Error DISM restorehealth - Windows 10 Forums
.. I managed to fix it (as you can see from the screenshot, the sfc shows no errors anymore)

In the event viewer I get these:

Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

ActivateApplicationForContractByAcidAsUserWithHost of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..

Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed..

Activation via contract helper of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..

... when I try to open a jpeg file.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Best regards,
Marin

 

Error: "The remote procedure call failed" while trying to access Windows Store on Windows 10

Hi Vishnu,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in accessing Windows Store apps and installing Windows Updates on your device.

We appreciate your effort and time spent in resolving the issue.

As you receive an error: The remote procedure call failed, I suggest you to check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator service.

Step 1: Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual. Follow the below steps for the same:

• Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open
  Run command.
• Type services.msc in the search box and press
  Enter.
• Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service
• Make sure the Start-up type is Manual.
  

Steps to set the services to Automatic

• Right click on the service
• If the service is stopped then Start the service
• Select Properties
• And in the Start-up type, select Manual.

Step 2: I suggest you to run Windows Update troubleshooter as it resolves
problems that prevents you from updating windows.

Steps:

• 
  Press Windows + X, click on
  Control Panel, select Category and then select
  Large or Small icons.
  
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all
  in the left pane.
• Select Windows Update
• Click on Advanced, check mark
  Apply repairs automatically, and then click on Run as Administrator.
• Follow the onscreen instructions

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

 

DISM /RestoreHealth failure - Error: 1726 The remote procedure call failed.

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit Version 10.0.14393.

I've been unable to install a Microsoft patch. The log showed the system store was corrupted, but the corruption detection and repair was unable to fix the corruption (as part of the patch installation).

I've run chkdsk and sfc /scannow, and they're clean. Dism shows the component store is repairable, but earlier attempts using the correct ISO (install.wim) kept failing - even when the progress went to 100%, I got the following error:

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

After a reboot, and retry of Dism, I'm getting this remote procedure call failure. Below is the transcript. The Rpc service is running.

c:\>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Version: 10.0.14393.0

The component store is repairable.

The operation completed successfully.
