Windows 10: Windows Update, DISM not working

1. I got error 0x800f0831 during Windows Update2. I searched Error 0x800f0831 and I the solution is to run dism scanhealth and restorehealth3. I ran "DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH" and "DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH" then I got error Error: 0x800f081f4. I searched Error: 0x800f081f, I downloaded Windows 11 ISO and ran "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:"E:\Sources\Install.wim":5 /limitaccess"5. I still get Error: 0x800f081fP.S.Windows Update cache is clearedAll files in ..\SoftwareDistribution\Download deletedWindows Update service is stopped befor

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.

Simplifying updates for Windows 7 and 8.1

0x8007000E is fixed by KB3102810! 229 important and 9 optionals updates found in under 5 minutes!



Going to try putting that into the slipstream as well and if it works, all should be...as it should be. That said, that's a lot of updates post-rollup. I wonder if they aren't installed but they're already available.


Edit: Can't edit the post with the instructions so here is an updated instruction list. Note that these are for x86. The DISM commands need to be adjusted for other platforms:

• Download Windows 7 Professional SP1 (SP1 is very, very important because there's no way to offline update gold to SP1).
• Mount the ISO and extract it somewhere.
• Create a folder "C:\test"
• Copy "\sources\install.wim" from the mounted ISO and place it in "C:\test"
• Download KB3020369 and place the MSU in "C:\test"
• Download KB3102810 and place the MSU in "C:\test"
• Download KB3125574 and place the MSU in "C:\test" but NOTE, this step requires Internet Explorer (tested with 11) running from an administrator account. You can't use a limited user account and log in when prompted. It will do nothing if you do.
• Create the folder "C:\test\offline"
• Start the Command Prompt as administrator.
• The next 4 steps are ran in the command prompt. Mount install.wim:
  
• Apply the PackageManager patch, the Windows Update patch, and then begin applying the rollup. Note: this will fail at 33.3%!
  
• Apply the rollup again so it goes through 100%:
  
• Save the mounted image back into your install.wim:
