Windows 10: SFC Says All OK, DISM Has Issues!

I have a question regarding SFC and DISM. After a whole lot of frustration, I finally have 1803. I checked both SFC and DISM following that. SFC /Scannow ran with an error. I ran it again, and the error was resolved. Then for curiosity, I ran DISM. Low and behold, it had a problem. What gives? I have attached a screen shot of the situation. I just do not understand why one is just fine, and the other has problems. I tried to correct DISM, but the source could not be found (as usual). I don't understand why the source isn't found because the image and my "real" system should be identical at this point. They have the exact same version number!





Thanks

:)

 

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.

 

SFC and DISM issues

Hi,

I ran SFC several times (as recommended in a port) and it still says:

".... found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log...

I looked into the CBS.log. It's five mile long and I can't make any sense of it.

Try as suggested, tried DISM with the following command:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Got the: "The source files could not be found....." message.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Jon

 

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.
