  1. Trying to use DISM to fix files idendified as "couldn't repair" by SFC


    I had a problem while attempting to access a particular website from my PC which I could get to from other platforms; therefore started looking at this unit. Ran SFC; got "some files could not be repaired" message. Downloaded/created brand-new ISO thumbdrive, and attempted to use DISM, following examples in this discussion. Continue to get "source not found" messages. Using command string Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:F:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /limitaccessfrom TeeCarter. Thumbdrive IS drive F:\. Running Windows 10 22h2 19045.3324. DICM version 10.0.19-41.844. Also, I ha

    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.
