Windows 10: My computer have some error since some month, dism, sfc, and soft reset or other don't work...

Hi, it's been some months that some games can't upload, others can't launch, and some system features aren't enabled. Now it's some error when I start to try to install virtual machines. So here will be a quick look through my trip so you understand the problem better:First, it was some game installation problem, wasn't caring that much, but tried to repair it anyway. I did some research and found that the sfc /scannow was the thing to do. I tried, and it failed. Some other forum told me to do a dism online... restore health, but it failed too.Later I tried to soft reset my laptop. failed. tri

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

have you tried specifying the source for DISM? We have had a few computers at work give the unable to find source error on Online DISM

 

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.

 

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.
