DISM Question

Hi. I was looking into DISM commands (I don't know much about them) to see if any would be beneficial after a fresh install of W10 with all updates. I came across this article by @EdTittel. Is this something a home user does not need to worry about?

Are there any recommended DISM commands to run after a fresh install? Or anything else to run for that matter?

Also does typing @Username notify the tenforums user that they were mentioned because I was going to PM this. And when I try my username it only links the "and" part ( @And_youf) I guess the underscore does something to cut it off because I just edited it after the fact. "_youf" was behind "[/MENTION] so it was showing like this @And_youf.

Went a bit off-topic there.

Yes

Very helpful link, thank you. Since I am not having any issues or corruption since it is fresh install should I just ignore running any of these for now?

Yea, you don't really need to run those unless you're having an issue.

Note: If you just want to check the health, you can run the /CheckHealth and /ScanHealth ones.

Alright, that is good to know. You pointing out those two commands and looking at @Brink's (testing out my mention-fu here) thread are very helpful for checking without making any alterations. That is what I was wanting to do.

Thanks again and take care.

Interesting that the code will put the apostrophe for the username mention automatically after "[/MENTION]" but for my @And_youf underscore it does not do that automatically I have to move "_youf" from behind "[/MENTION]" to the username area before that and it auto-capitalizes (don't know if that affects the mention).

Test Edit: @and_youf

Edit: I need to stop going off topic on threads.

Edit 2: And none of this matters because I forgot that my username is @andyouf here and not and_youf which even after my inane edits just links to nonexistent user "And." I'm assuming that is why it auto-capitalized and wanted nothing to do with my underscore (unless underscore is code to take that and the part after out of the mention).

Edit 3: Guess if I mention myself it doesn't show up on my profile page under "Mentions."

There can be some benefit to running DISM /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup after Cumulative Updates get installed. It will usually free up somewhere between 1 and 2 GB of materials -- sometimes, more -- as long as running DISM /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore reports 1 or more "reclaimable packages" and recommends component store cleanup.
HTH,

PS: thanks for mentioning my article. Definitely caught my eye, and helped lead to this response.

Windows has a task, which runs component cleanup as needed and diskcleanup can run it as well. That is one reason, why diskcleanup takes sooo long to finish. When I run it beforehand, it finishes in seconds.

Code:

Microsoft\Windows\Servicing\StartComponentCleanup
Microsoft\Windows\DiskCleanup\SilentCleanup

For the record, someone once mentioned, that ResetBase does not really run, unless enabled in registry.

Code:

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Configuration" /v "DisableResetbase" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

I was wondering about Disk Cleanup with it cleaning "Delivery Optimization Files" and "Windows Update Cleanup" when you push "Clean up system files." How are the DISM commands for cleanup different from that?

Disk Cleanup - Cleans Up (Deletes) stuff you don't really need anymore (logs, temp files, etc) which can free up hdd space.

DISM Cleanup - Cleans up the Component Store (WinSXS Folder) which may or may not free up hdd space.
