DISM offline fix failing - no source
A client dropped off a machine to be repaired. It was loaded with Windows 10 home, and the initial build was 1809 (I am unsure if the user has done any of the feature upgrades).
The machine will not boot into normal mode or into safe mode. I can get it to troubleshooting and open a command prompt. This of course is running off the repair OS, not the live OS the user would use (to the best of my knowledge)
I have a Win 10 Install stick (1909, USB) in the machine as a source, and use the following command
X:>DISM /Image:c:\ /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth /scratchdir:c:\windows\temp /source:e:\sources\sxs
The scan runs to about 86% then fails with a source not found. I have tried various directories, but the results are the same, either I am missing something fundamental, or this machine is really messed up.
