Windows 10: Errors that sfc and dism dont fix, what or who will?

To Microsoft Support and Engineering: This is not a support request. It is a statement of fact—and a demand for accountability. Microsoft-Caused System Destruction 1. Protocol Hijack and Application Interference I was using Firestorm, a standalone viewer that installed its own DLLs and handlers. It functioned normally. Then Microsoft forcibly reassigned its registry associations and protocol handlers. I did not authorize this. It was not your property to reassign. Firestorm’s developers were not consulted, and neither was I. 2. System Collapse After Normal Uninstall I uninstalled Fires

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

Ok, can someone help me out because this crap is starting to piss me off. There was once a time when you could simply run SFC and DISM to check Windows files integrity and if there were any problems found with the local files, Windows repaired it automatically. The reason why I want to run this is because I'm getting stupendously huge amount of errors and warnings in Event Viewer, but I don't want to run refresh because it'll mess up tons of apps.

Commands I used:
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Fast forward few years and we now have glorious Windows 10. Trying to run the same tools, they find errors but stubbornly refuse to fix ANYTHING. What's the god damn point of it then?

Sfc finds issues but can't repair them and DISM constantly bitches how it can't find the source. All this used to work directly in Windows 7, but in Win 10, nothing. This was one of the best features to get OS back in good state and they go and ruin it. Because Microsoft!

I've checked this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.co...sfc-failed-to-repair?forum=win10itprohardware

Nothing worked. And they keep mentioning install.wim where my Windows image downloaded from Microsoft itself! only carries install.esd which I can't seem to use with anything.

I've also tried this tool:
https://dismgui.codeplex.com/releases/view/133331

Which again wants .wim file and refuses to work with esd.

 

SFC Error


Hello,

Recently my PC has rebooted randomly, and then it couldn't find boot device, so I reseated my SATA and power cables going to the HDD. It seemed fine, but SFC found corrupt files. I can't fix this error.

Tried:

• sfc /scannow

Result: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Result: The component store is repairable. The operation completed successfully.

• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Result: The source files could not be found.

• Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source

​Result: Error: 0x800f081f
I also attached a DISM log.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

How to get damn DISM to work?

Thx guys, I'll compress this data into a blog post. For all the so called guides I've read, not a single one mentioned it has to be WIM file (some listed even ESD which clearly doesn't work) or that certain ISO images don't work with DISM.

After I've done DISM thingie, SFC also managed to repair stuff. Which is what I've needed here.
