  1. Windows 10 Update to 21H1 Fails. Attempted DISM Image Repair, but DISM Source Files Missing


    Hello,I have been struggling with this for about a month now. Windows updates have failed every time that I have attempted to download them. I have been following a string of questions posted here but have reached a part where I am hopelessly lost. I have contacted Windows online support multiple times. The last thing they tried to get me to do was use a custom windows update without applications which still led to a failure.I have been following this thread https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-fails-to-install-2021-07-cumulative/4ae8a05e-fcb5-4a2a-86d1-53abcfe

  2. Both Dism and Health Image fail, reporting missing source files

    I'm trying to repair a W10 installation, and so I ran Dism. Unfortunately it fails, and reports that it can't locate the source files -

    Error - cannot locate the source files:

    The example I used for running Dism:

    File Explorer, showing drive G, which was used when I ran Dism:

    I then used Image Health tool instead. Unfortunately, this fails too, with the same issue -

    I'm not sure if this is important, but the instructions for the Image Health tool says -Step 2: Right-Click IMAGE_HEALTH.CMD > Select Properties > Select Unblock
    When I right clicked on this .cmd file, I couldn't see an option/property that said "Unblock" -

    Cmd properties:

    Thanks a lot for any advice on this issue!

    Windows 10 Update to 21H1 Fails. Attempted DISM Image Repair, but DISM Source Files Missing

    DISM command /RestoreHealth unable to find source files

    I am unable to perform SFC Scan or DISM Restore Health Successfully.

    Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Build 19043.1083.

    • sfc /scannow finds corruption its unable to fix.
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
      • Results in "The component store is repairable
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
      • Results in "The component store is repairable"
    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
      • Results in "The Source files could not be found"
    I've downloaded what I believe to be the correct .iso file for the version of Windows I am running/needing. See below:

    Mounting the .iso file to F: and pointing DISM to use its install.wim file is also failing.

    • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:F:\Sources\install.wim
    • Results in "The source files could not be found".
    Could anyone help me decipher the log files?
