Windows 10: Why doesn't Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth work Windows 10

Simply, why doesn't Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth work in Windows 10? Is there a way to get this or a similar command to self repair your installation in Windows 10?





:)

 

Start menu missing!

In short NO it didn't work. I followed the instructions as given and entered

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannnow

The response was:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannnow

Error: 87

DISM doesn't recognize the command-line option "sfc".

For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I tried entering it without the sfc line and got:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Version: 10.0.10240.16384

Image Version: 10.0.10240.16384

I followed this with a reboot but there was no discernible change

 

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

It both didn't work

 

Did you check the log, as it suggests?

 

Yes, download and mount the ISO and provide it with the source the error message said couldn't be found. Download your version from DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image - Windows 10 Forums

 

No I didn't. Would it help somewhat?

 

Since the log tells you why it failed, that's always the first place to look.

 

I went to Tech Bench but didn't understand the options for the version. What does the 'K' and 'N' options mean?

 

10 N is the EU edition, K is the Korean edition and KN is for either, I think. Look at your system and it should say which you have. Download exactly what you have now. It has to be the same version, bitness (X86 or X64) and the same as in Pro or Home. I think I got all of that right.

 

So the one that just says Windows 10 is the US version, right?

 

I see your not updated yet to the new build of Windows 10 10586 which if download this ISO now this is what it will be.
I had same issue after clean install of new build as you are having. What helped me was to use the ISO mount it in File explorer and use this command in Admin command prompt.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:N:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

X being drive letter of the mounted drive. Then if it completes successfully run this
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Then run sfc /scannow

Possibly going to need version build 10240 this i am not positive.

 

You can also use that ISO to do the upgrade with. Yes, the Windows 10 is the US version.

 

For the Edition yes

Also you need to choose the Product language when you download the ISO. You can check what you have now with powershell command [CultureInfo]::InstalledUICulture.

If it is en-US you want to download English, if it is en-GB you want International English. Code: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. PS C:\Windows\system32> [CultureInfo]::InstalledUICulture LCID Name DisplayName ---- ---- ----------- 1033 en-US English (United States)[/quote]



Then it will ask you to decide 32 or 64 bit. Download what you have at the moment.

 

Unfortunately I had downloaded the US version. I couldnt get it to mount or do the repair despite looking at all the online advice and tutorials on the Microsoft site. I will download the European version and try again.

EDIT:
For example, one problem I faced was that, after I failed to install the ISO file on my datastick, I burnt it to a DVD, but the DVD once inserted after recording the ISO seemed to be mounted three times. I did not know which path to choose for the Dism repair command.

 

You would just select the ISO to mount not by making the ISO to a disc and putting it in the drive as i suggested. My only thoughts on this is the build you downloaded is different then build you have installed now. What you have now is build 10240 which i saw from your original post from command prompt, ISO you downloaded is build 10586, so not sure if this will cause issues with doing a DISM Command. Right click drives D: & E: and select eject. BD-RE looks like the disc is in there.

You may be best updated to this build first, might correct this issue in the process. Eventually you will need to anyway.
