Windows 10: How to execute DISM from a host machine on an external SSD target that is readable , but...

There are multiple references regarding running DISM from a functioning Windows instance scanning itself e.g., DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. How do I scan a target drive that is readable from an external Windows host, but will not boot nor repair Windows?

Can't tuning network communication between host and target Windows machines

The default network type for VirtualBox is "NAT" which means that each VM can share the Internet connection but can't talk to each other or talk to the "host" PC.

Basically, all you need to do is change the network type in VirtualBox from "NAT" to "NAT Network". That will allow VMs to talk to each other and to talk to the host

 

Modern setup host

Hi Hermie,



Regarding your concern with the deleted Modern Setup Host file, we’d like to ask the following questions so we can isolate it at the same time:

• What particular action that you’re trying to perform at the time that it was accidentally deleted.?
• May we know where and how it was deleted on your computer?
  
• Were you able to check if the deleted file can be found in the
  Recycle bin?

As an initial step, we suggest that perform a DISM command. This will help repairing possible system file corruptions. Follow these steps:

• Type command in the search box.
• Right-click on the result and select Run as administrator.
• Type this command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Press Enter.
• Close the Command Prompt windows and check if changes were made related to the Modern Setup Host file.

We'll wait for your update after trying the steps.

 

Can't tuning network communication between host and target Windows machines

My goal is tuning the connection between my host machine with Windows 10 and

my target or guest machine inside Virtual Box with Windows 10 too (is downloaded from microsoft resource).

Both Windows 10 are inside my notebook with internet connection through Wi-Fi. I have no physical ethernet connection.

I want to use guest for windows kernel debugging, so I try to turn connection via ping at first.

ipconfig inside the host machine gives me:

Unfortunately, I don't know how to change on english output of ping.

In network settings inside virtual image for guest I choose "Network bridge".

My main question: what should I do to tuning ping between host and target machine?

I tryed my own approach, but failed... I thought the way:

IpGuest = 169.254.43.66, IpHost = 169.254.247.17

ping host from guest gives me:

Reply from IpGuest: Destination host unreachable.

and ping guest from host gives me the next info:

Reply from IpHost: Destination host unreachable.
