I have a user who has a Lenovo notebook recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.
He complained that it is very sluggish and Internet Explorer is extremely sluggish since the upgrade to Windows 10. I ran SFC /scannow with this result:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.
I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\x64\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess pointed to a USB drive with a fresh download of Windows 10 on it. I get this result:
Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found.

Here are the errors from the log file:

Everything was working fine, then

Store stopped opening just get a quick flash on screen

Tried various suggested “fixes”

Sf/scannow came back with not being able to find source files

DISM Scan health and restore health came back with the error 0x800f081f (See comments above)

Now Edge will not open at all and I could not open my PDF attachments – message - invalid value for registry
Have changed defaults to Firefox for the Internet connection and Adobe Reader for the PDF files – this appears to be working

After three days of almost continuous command line entries and laptop restarts Cannot remember anything else

 

Error DISM restorehealth

Having being frustrated with having the dism error (0x800f081f error) which was unfixable after a clean Windows 10 install time after time, it was great to find this fix which works a treat and and allows "sfc scannow" to complete error free as well as dism.

I do have a question though, what causes these errors in the first place? I have had the same thing happen twice in the space of 3 weeks and tonight also. Maybe it is something I am doing which I don't realise is causing it. My system is clean and the latest Windows 10 build and my system shows no symptoms of any kind.
Again running the "Image health cmd" fixes it. Is it a case of don't worry about it and just carry on?

Thanks in advance.

Edit.... I updated my Nvidia drivers tonight. Maybe they are the culprit.
