This started when I started playing games on my laptop . The game just randomly crashed and a dialog box containing bad image error showed up. I did an sfc scan and it showed there were corrupt files present. I did DISM and restarted the Laptop but in vain . The error is still present. Please help me solve this
Thanks in advance 😊
Hi, please first check your disk:
1. Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) and post a screenshot.
To post a screenshot please use the Insert Image icon above your post to the left of the video icon. Thanks.
2. If ok, now check your file system:
From an admin command or powershell prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:

What DISM command did you run? Try
DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Run this command as administrator
If this doesn't work, you may need to download an ISO image that matches your Windows maintenance level. We can discuss that if the above command doesn't work. Note: Be sure to include the blanks in the command. This is easily overlooked.
Ok, you have the option of trying to use DISM, when you might find this (below) useful, provided your PC boots.

- See post #2 for a helpful utility.
If you become satisfied DISM can't help, then proceed to an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all programs and data and most settings.

Before doing that, please advise your current build:

Create a bootable windows 10 iso:
Download Windows 10
Insert the windows 10 iso into any USB port.
Open file explorer and view the windows 10 iso.
What is the letter for the drive?
For step 6 - 8 please change letter D if necessary to the letter of the windows 10 iso and see if any of the dism commands can fix the problems with the windows.
Please post the administrative command prompt results with any error codes for these commands:
Or use a camera or smart phone camera to take a pictures and post images into the thread.
1) sfc /scannow

4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth /limitaccess
6) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
The webpage changed the colon followed by the letter D to a smiley face:
The characters were separated so that you can see what the command is when properly entered:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth / Source: wim: D: \sources \install.wim:1 /limitaccess
7) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:L:\Windows /LimitAccess
