DISM, unexpected behavior

Bree: Thanks.

zbook: Thanks, but we already went through using those commands and sfc. (see previous posts).

Yes, so had I (many times) - DISM always failed on 'source not found'. The last time it failed on me was yesterday, with the logs showing a failure to download a package that was required for the repair. Today it worked perfectly, finding and downloading the required packages.

Seem that Microsoft have updated something at their download server that makes it work, because I certainly didn't change anything at my end. @ray5450 it's worth trying it one more time.

Are you saying then that if I redownload the iso using the Microsoft Windows Media Creation Tool, that it should work now?

No @ray5450. I'm saying the problem isn't at your end. Nothing had change on my 10063.296 system, but the DISM command that failed on the 19th May worked on 20th May. There's no point in downloading a new .iso as it hasn't been changed. The fix was applied by Microsoft to the download servers that provide DISM with the repair packages, not to our Windows installations.

So, you are only talking about when NOT using the limitaccess option?
