Windows 10: The WOF Driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file’s Resource Table – DISM error

Users may get this error when they try to run DISM to resolve some issues on their operating system. However, sometimes due to corrupted system drivers, DISM fails to complete the process, resulting in the error Error 448, The WOF Driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file’s Resource Table. If you are also facing the same issue then kindly read through this article – we will help in resolving it for you.



WOF Driver or wof.sys is more specifically known as Windows Overlay Filter driver. It “overlays” virtual files into a directory that also contains normal physical files. It is an important system file that is required for the smooth working of the Windows operating system. The Windows Overlay File System Filter Driver is unable to start if the FltMgr service is stopped or disabled.

The WOF driver encountered a corruption


Try the following solutions to resolve the DISM error:

1. Start Component Cleanup
2. Restore Health
3. Configure an alternative Windows Repair Source
4. Use Windows installation as the repair source

1] Start Component Cleanup


Next, execute the following command:

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

This will clean up the component store so that everything can run properly again.

2] Restore Health


Restart and then Run SFC /scannow in Safe Mode.

Restart your system and see if you can run the following command now:

dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

This should help!

3] Configure an alternative Windows Repair Source


You can configure your system to use an alternative repair source, via a Group Policy setting. This could be helpful in resolving the issue.

4] Use Windows installation as the repair source


To use a running Windows installation as the repair source, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files, you can use the following command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

Here you will have to replace C:\RepairSource\Windows with the location of your repair source.

TIP: Folks who have received Windows Update error 0x80073712 have been known to see this DISM error when they try to run it to fix their Update error. You may need to fix your broken Windows Update using DISM then.

sfc and DISM both fail, windows 10 version 1803

Hi,

I'm running a Lenovo G510, originally delivered with Windows 8, but upgraded to 10 about 2 years ago. A failed update uncovered the fact that there may be a problem with the current installation of 1803. sfc /scannow fails with
the message "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation". DISM fails with "the WOF driver encountered a corruption in the compressed file’s resource table".
CHKDSK appears to complete successfully.

thanks in advance,

pete vh
