You may not need to download the image file, instead just run DISM.
Simple enough just to run the DISM like this:
I ran the restore. End up with "source files cannot be found. Done with screwing around with stuff that don't work ! The scanhealth part sat at 40.8 % for over 1 hour. I decided to press enter key, and it began to proceed to completion. Go figure !
Run this one to see if there is corruption:
1. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
It appears to stall out, then appears to Stall Out again at 20% but let it keep going.
Run this one to Check if the Image can be repaired:
2. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
CheckHealth also seems to Stall Out so just let it run.
Run this one to Repair the Image:
3. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Then, if wanted, you can run "sfc /scannow" again to verify.
If it can't be repaired then you would need to download the iso via the Media Creation Tool. It takes a long time to download one of these images so if you don't need it let's try to avoid that. I suspect you just chose the wrong Option during the Media Creation Tool Process. You will need to choose the
ISO download instead.
