Error 0x800703e6 - is there actually a fix for this

Hi Dante,

It sounds like your AV is blocking DISM/SFC, which, in turn, generates the error 0x800703e6. I see four Symantec kernel drivers running. Have you tried uninstalling Symantec products to see if that helps? If that resolves the issue, you can install Symantec later (until then, Microsoft Defender AV will protect your computer.)

CBS & DISM logs



Follow these steps to collect the CBS logs.

1. Open the folder “C:\Windows\Logs\“
   
2. Select the two folders, namely, CBS and DISM.
   
3. Right-click on the section, and click Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.
   

Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here.



Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?
