    Hello @BrokenDaily,

    It sounds like you had one of those days yourself. Sorry about that.

    Are you able to update his computer via Windows Update to the latest version/build?

    I would, but my dad is a bit computer illiterate when it comes to fixing problems on windows and gets frustrated if it isnt simple enough for him to understand; now im not saying he's totally crud when it comes to computers or hardware in general (he's retired navy, so he knows his hardware when it truly matters), but since I am the family tech support when it comes to fixing their windows problems, they go to me

    I can try and see if his windows update will work (last update installed was an October servicing stack update), and i believe it will find an update. will respond when done

    - - - Updated - - -

    he apparently installed whatever needed updates he had, and he has 2 optional updates (KB4520012, and KB4520408)

    Hopefully the latest updates will help to no longer need to run DISM.

    last time this happened to me, using the /source addon with the dism tool to a fresh install.win file from a fresh win10 iso worked

    checking the build number of this new copy of windows 8.1 is 17415, while my father's computer (using a systeminfo cmd command) list his version/build as 6.3.6900 N/A 6900; if I use the /restorehealth command with the /source flag to point to the newer install.win, will there be any problems of any types, conflicts, etc...

    or is there nothing for him or I to worry about? I would've done more for him, but this happened right as he woke up from sleeping late and he hadn't gotten his cup of coffee and grandma went her brand of crazy and this got him on one HFIL, of a mood
    Your ISO sounds like some older Windows 10 Insider ISO (there was a build 17115). You should just download a Windows 8.1 Pro ISO to use for DISM Source, if you end up needing one.

    EDIT: Sorry, There is a Service Pack level on the ISO that I just downloaded for Windows 8.1 of 17415. So that is right. Pro is at /Index:1 of the install.wim file on the ISO.

    To be clear, I downloaded the windows 8.1 iso using the microsoft website, so I'm not downloading another; also, I used NTLite to both download and integrate all windows 8.1 (64-Bit) updates that it listed, and I tried the
    Code:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /Source:wim:(install.wim path here):1 /limitaccess
    command, and both times it came away with a "sorry, we so dumb we can't find the .wim file even though you clearly specified the path in question" error

    now I tried this from the USB I had the iso files on, and I even tried copying to the ROOT of the C: drive, and still nothing, just the same "sorry, can't find it" error. This is getting stupid at this point, so ill just do a refresh/repair install and if that doesnt fix it, I swear im gonna get the type of mad that'd ban me from any forum (not the illegal terms kind god no, but bad language kind)

    Maybe we need to see exactly what you are seeing. Run the DISM command again, just like you did before. Copy the complete output, all, and paste into Code wraps here. That way, we see what you're seeing. Thanks.

    And also make sure you are using the proper command (step 5 in the referenced link below) for your .iso:

    Post a sceenshot (or copy and paste the lot) of cmd with the command being run and the error output from dism

    Your command syntax is probably wrong
