Windows 10: How do i Fix a broken windows service that even SFC and Dism says is fine ?

So i have the "DiagTrack" service stuck in "Starting"

( I need it for a few things )

It never starts. i also cant stop it or restart it.

SFC/scannow = No issues

Same for dism commands

"sc queryex {DiagTrack}" error 1060 give out this service isnt installed on this machine.



While services tells me it is and in "starting" condition.



Googling around you only find ways to deactivate :/

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

Your OS is broken simply as that. On some beta builds SFC was broken, yes but it was fixed in last fast ring releases. Stable releases work fine.

Adk tools also float in MDL forum. Try there.

 

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:
CodePlex Archive

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

 

How to get damn DISM to work?

you need to run DISM first before running SFC
SFC query's the local component stores to make repairs
DISM is targeted for rebuilding the component stores and a offline image the 'live' section is still handled by SFC in some cases
except on windows 8.1 and up because they changed it
but only for certain files and only if x part of the store is corrupt
so yea pretty confusing eh
