Windows 10: specified file cant be found in cmd prompt dism

i wanted to download net framework 3.5 then i got an error and searched it on yt and asked people abt it and at the end they told me to run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth && sfc /scannow and at the end it said it couldnt find the specified file and gave me error 3, what do i do now?

:)

 

CMD Prompt returns "The system cannot find the file specified" in "Documents" but it is there!

I am trying to copy a file in my Documents folder using the CMD Prompt, however it returns an error "The system cannot find the file specified".

This was part of an automated backup batch file which ran under the task scheduler every week, but stopped working after a recent Windows 10 update.

I have tried to isolate the problem with simple steps.

Step 1. I created a small text file called "test.txt" in the F:\Users\MyName\Documents folder (the C:\ drive is a small SSD which only contains Windows 10 and apps. All of my personal files are on this F:\ drive).

Step 2. Using the Command Prompt, in Administrator mode, I navigate to the F:\Users\MyName\Documents folder and type "dir *.txt", which shows test.txt, among the other txt file types in that folder. So the file exists.

Step 3. I type "Copy test.txt testcopy.txt", but this returns the error "The system cannot find the file specified", even though the file is still there and can be confirmed by typing dir *.txt again!

Step 4. I type "Copy test.txt F:\testcopy.txt" and this works without error.

Any idea why the system cannot find the file specified when the destination is the Documents folder, but seems OK with the root folder of the same drive?

 

How to get damn DISM to work?

you dont need the "esd" command unless your running an esd file type.

i recommend if ytour just scanning to
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

or DL an ISO , and run the command i linked above.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /sources:WIM:X:\sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
"x" = drive letter.

iso can be DL'd from here

be certain to run elevated CMD prompt.

 

DISM cannot find the file specified

1. Close all program windows.
   
2. Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro of Sysnative forums) and save this to your Desktop.
   
3. Download SFCFixScript.txt and save it to your desktop.
   
4. Drag the SFCFixScript.txt file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it. [See Screenshot]
   
5. SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
   
6. Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
   
7. Upload/share the logfile (SFCFix.txt) on OneDrive.
   

Once done, re-run the DISM command-line.

• DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
  

If the same error occurs again, it means additional registry keys in the COMPONENTS hive are missing.

In that case, do one of the following:

1) Do a repair installation right away. It fixes these CBS/CSI issues automatically. See How to perform an In-place Upgrade with Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide - Microsoft Community. Your apps, files, and settings will be kept by default.

-or-

2) Please repost the fresh CBS log (uploading the latest one in the CBS folder should be enough).
