Error 0x800f081f DISM.exe

Regards.

A friend asked me for help with his laptop, because sometimes, when the computer starts, the sound or the network card do not work.

The first thing I did was a "sfc / scannow" scan. The result was that corrupted files were found but could not be repaired. My next step was to run the command "DISM.exe / Online / Cleanup-image / Restorehealth". But using this command I get the error 0x800f081f. I have searched for solutions and found this topic Error DISM restorehealth but I honestly don't understand the solution.

I hope you can help me out since I don't want to format the laptop.

The laptop has windows 10 64 bit home edition single language.

Sorry, that was up to the translator. I do not speak English natively and I use the google translator, when translating the text it put the spaces, but I am writing it correctly in CMD.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Code:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The above command will not work if Windows Update service not working correctly. You will be prompted to use /source parameter to specify the location of the files that are require to restore the damage or missing files.




The Install.wim is the source of where these corrupted or missing files located.
The Windows Imaging Format (WIM) is a file-based disk image format. It was developed by Microsoft to help deploy Windows Vista and subsequent versions of Windows operating system family.
The following command can be executed to extract corrupted or missing Windows Component Store files.

Code:

DISM  /Online  /Cleanup-Image   /RestoreHealth     /Source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1    /LimitAccess

Replace the X:\Sources folder path with a folder path where Install.wim image file is stored.
The /LimitAcess parameter tells DISM utility to not to use Windows Update service to retrieve corrupted or missing files.
The /Index parameter tells DISM utility to retrieve the corrupted or missing files from which edition of Windows OS. The Install.wim file can contain more than one edition of the Windows OS. You can execute following command to found out index number of your Windows OS edition that you want to repair.

Code:

Dism  /Get-WimInfo  /Wimfile:"L:\sources\install.wim"

Replace the L:\sources with directory path where Install.wim stored. As you can see there is two editions of Windows 10 and all have index number.

Thank you for your assistance.

So if I understood correctly, I should enter this command

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd: D:\Sources\Install.esd:2 /limitaccess

(I had to separate the D because it appears to me as an emoji of a smiling face)

Where "D:" is the DVD drive. (I have the iso image recorded on a dvd)

"2" is the index number for the Home Single Language edition.

The file "Install.wim" does not appear on the installation disc that I have. So do I use "Install.esd"?

Yes enter below command:

Code:

Dism  /Cleanup-Image  /RestoreHealth  /Source:esd:D:\sources\install.esd:2  /LimitAccess

Thank you. I'm going to do the test tonight.

Putting the code as it indicates it throws me error 87.

Isn't a "/Online" missing from it?

Code:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:D:\Sources\Install.esd:2 /limitaccess

And using this code, it threw error 0x800f081f again.

Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

Please type below command into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

The following commands scans integrity of all protected Windows system files and repairs files with problems when possible.

Code:

Dism  /image:D:  /Cleanup-Image  /RestoreHealth  /Source:esd:E:\sources\install.esd:1  /LimitAccess
 
Sfc  /Scannow   /OFFBOOTDIR=D:\   /OFFWINDIR=D:\Windows

Please replace partition letter D: with Windows installed partition letter. When computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assign any other drive letter usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit /enum | find "osdevice" command can be use to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

Please replace E: drive letter with Windows 10 Setup Media drive letter. The following commands list all the drive letters detected by Windows 10:

Code:

Diskpart
List volume

Thank you again.

I did not understand very well about the partition. But this is the listing that appears with the command.

Which one should I assign?
