Windows 10: Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found

Hi,

Getting "sfc /scannow" and "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" issues.

It seems that I'm not able to fix some corruption.
The main reason I stared with SFC command was that my icons on my task bar, disappeared.

SFC found issues but was unable to resolve them.

I ran the following commands:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I also used "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess"
to point to my X drive which is my external drive that has Install.wim file.

The error I'm getting is:
Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 10.0.14393.0Image Version: 10.0.14393.0 [===========================91.5%===================== ] 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 MSN France: Hotmail, Outlook, actualités, météo, divertissement DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log[/quote] This is the dism.log file output:

Can anyone help please?

:)

Hi Muhammad,

This error may occur when you use an installation wizard, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool, or
Windows PowerShell commands to enable the .NET Framework 3.5.

We suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps found on this link
to resolve your issue.

Do get back to us should you encounter any difficulties.

 

Unfortunately, the error message does not give you much to go on. The error you are getting can be caused by a mis-match between your downloaded file and the version of Windows you are running. They must match. Another cause could be trying to use a ESD version with ISO parameters and vice versa. Check the version of your download with the following command issued from an admin prompt:

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:H:\sources\install.wim /index:1

where H is the mounted drive for the ISO.

If it does not find the source file, change install.wim above to install.ESD. The same is true when you run the Dism command with "restorehealth". These two errors are the most common causes for your issues.

so my build is 14393.693?
then how or where can I obtain an ISO file with the same build?

 

It appears you are using the wrong drive for the ISO in your Dism statement. The ISO on your system is on G as noted in the output from

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:G:\sources\install.wim /index:1

The correct Dism command should be

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:G:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

 

Glad you got it fixed. Those problems can literally drive you crazy because the error messages are just not very helpful. That's interesting that you did not use "limitaccess". I have always used it, but I have also encountered numerous problems using Dism. I'll try leaving it off next time ... thanks for the advice.

Have a good day mate!

 

I was able to solve it eventually. Here are the steps:
1. Create a Windows Installation media, using the Windows Media Creation Tool.
2. I didn't choose to create ISO file. I selected the 1st option in the list.
3. After this was done, I referred to the "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:X:\sources\install.esd:1" command
4. Note that I didn't use /LimtAccess - not using this options allows windows to use the windows update service to find the required files to fix the issue.
5. Another important note is that in my case I had to use 'install.esd' file because that is the file that is generated when creating the windows installation disk.
After running the above command, I was able to see it reached 100% with success message at the end.
Followed by "sfc /scannow" everything is fixed.
