Are you executing Dism Command from Windows Installation media?
Are you executing Dism Command from Windows Installation media?
I didn't take offence, just wanted to be a bit tongue in cheek.
Yes I am at C:\Windows\System32. And the output I get is similar but not identical to yours. The order of the FFU COMMANDS, WIM COMMANDS and GENERIC IMAGING COMMANDS is reversed.
However I also note that neither cleanup-image nor get-packages options appears in the output that you showed. And I still get those error messages. Makes me suspect that there is something more fundamentally wrong with my image that prevents those options from showing.
At this stage I'm ready to give up. I'm no fan of Windows at the best of times, just trying to do this as a favour for a friend. It is this kind of undocumented nonsense that will send me back to Unix every time.

Me... I'm a lazy person.
When I need to fix Windows... I do an In-Place upgrade. It fixes Windows, and keeps all my programs and files.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
Here is the short version of the In-place upgrade tutorial...
DISABLE non-Microsoft:
a) antivirus software
b) firewall software
c) drive encryption software
Make a full OS backup with a program like Macrium Reflect (free)

Go here and get the Media Creation Tool and save it to your desktop.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
RUN the Media Creation Tool and use it to: Create an ISO image... save IT to your desktop.
This will be the latest version of the ISO image.
Right click the ISO image and choose: MOUNT
Open File Explorer and you will see a new drive letter. It will look like a DVD optical drive.
Double click the new drive letter to open it.
Find setup.exe and double click it to start the in-place upgrade.
Choose the Keep personal files and apps option.
After it's all done... to UNmount the ISO image, right click the new drive letter and choose: EJECT.
The ONLY thing you will lose is some of your personalizations. Your programs and data will be intact.
It sounds like you have an older version of Windows that you attempting to repair from. I would suggest you download the newest Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, create an ISO file, mount the ISO file, and then run dism from the mounted ISO file. I think you will find it in the Sources folder. The problem is you have an outdated DISM. Look at your version number compared to my version number.
I just downloaded the current release of Windows 10 English International which gave me version 10.0.19041.746 of dism. Not quite as recent as yours (10.0.22000.1 - maybe the default English US release is ahead of the English International release?) But still surely the version of dism is not the problem here.
