Windows 10: Technical Issues after trying DISM and SFC.

Hello! Apologies as I am not super tech savvy and was following the directions.


My sons computer has run into some issues while operating where things like Microsoft edge being unable to open, search menu closing the moment he attempts to type something, file explorer search malfunctioning, and a host of other issues. I ran some malware and virus protection software to check for anything external first and then followed instructions on running DISM and SFC from command prompt. DISM was unable to fully complete and SFC stated there were some corrupt files that could not be repaired.


I don't know how to make sense of the logs and was just wondering if someone could help me figure out what is going on. I would greatly appreciate it. Also I am unsure as to how to attach a log file to this post.


Thank you!

:)

 

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?

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.

 

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
