Windows 10: Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image

Matthew Wai said:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:Z:\sources\install.esd:1 /limitaccess
I just ran the above command but got this error: 0x800F081F The source files could not be found.
Z is my DVD drive and Z:\sources\install.esd really exists.
Why could the file not be found?
Did you mount the ISO?
Go to install.esd on the Z: drive & Shift/Right Click/Copy as Path and Paste into e.g. notepad. See what drive letter it shows. That is the drive letter the ISO has been mounted to. Will not be the drive letter where the ISO resides.

"Image Health Zip"
Bingo! It works. The image health has been restored. Thanks a lot.

There is no such option on the right-click menu of my DVD drive. That option is only available to the Windows.iso on my hard drive.

I already read it before asking a question here.

The path is Z:\sources\install.esd

Well good news, as I am thinking by your last post that your issue is now fixed, using Image Health program.

Well if Z: is the virtual DVD drive number for the mounted ISO then the DISM command should work perfectly.

Windows 10 latest build refuses to run sfc /scannow at all. Reinstalling it from an ISO changed nothing.
Booted to command window and "dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth" has the result:
"DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option."
It appears I need to direct DISM to a mounted Windows ISO. One option is the DVD-RWs I still have.
[Edit] - "Windows 10 latest Pro Insider Preview Build refuses to run", not the retail version via media creation tool.

My Windows 10 Build 10586.164 just ran it smoothly.

Windows 10 Feedback includes comments such as: "sfc /scannow still broken in Build 14291" and I can attest 14295 has the same issue. [Edit] Now SFC works in Build 14316.
Booted to command window and "dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth" has the result:
"DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option."
DISM not work in Command Prompt Windows 10 as far as my limited knowledge allows, but
works just fine if simply boot Windows 10 normally.

After performing clean installation, the above error does not appear again, so there is no need to use the following:

That's Great News Matthew !! Clean Install is always the best choice. Now would be a good time to make a complete image backup using a program like Macrium Reflect while your Windows 10 is running at its best.
Hi I've not read through all the posts here, but I was getting errors using dism, similar to Joanne on the first page of this thread. I managed to solve the problem by converting the install.esd file I was using to an install.wim using the method described here:
https://community.spiceworks.com/how...nge-esd-to-wim
Then I used the "Administrator" command prompt to run:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:Full Path to install.wim file:1 /limitaccess
And it worked! Then I ran sfc /scannow with no problems, all corrupt files fixed.
I hope this helps someone else.
