Windows 10: unable to run *.exe files

unable to run *.exe files from different sources. Win 10 MS Surface pro 6

DISM unable to locate Install.wim file

Nothing wrong with using install.esd

@EasyGoingPat
FYI, install.esd or install.wim both result the extraction of the component store files to temp folder (%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\local\temp) then use them to repair.

1. Copy install.esd to your Desktop
2. From Admin command, run: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
3. then run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:%USERPROFILE%\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess

For Step 2 & 3. Just copy and paste the command to make sure the syntax is correct. See screen shot:
NOTE: Step 2 in the screen shot will be different from yours since I have no corruption.

unable to run window store and update

Sorry for the late response. If the above steps did not work, let's try another troubleshooting step. You can try the suggestion by Linley Meslier above and see if it will resolve the issue. If not, try resetting Windows Store cache. Follow the steps below:

• Click on Cortana.
• Type WSreset.exe, then click it.
• The Store app and a command prompt will open without any messages and it will automatically close when the process is done.
• Restart the computer.

After doing the steps, try running Windows Store again and see if you can do an update.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
