Dism is unable to repair system files
I have a Kodlix mini computer with Windows 10 Pro purchased in mid February of 2019. It came with version 1803 installed. A few days after it arrived, Windows update installed version 1809. I recently noticed that the March and April cumulative updates failed to install, although everything else installed ok. See screen capture:
I ran the Windows Update trouble shooter (No help), ran SFC /Scannow (no problems found) and tried:
a) Stopped the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services.
b) Renamed the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder.
c) Restarted the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services.
Which didn’t help.
I then ran: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth which failed at around 85% with error 2. The DISM log indicated that it couldn’t find a file.
Then a ran DISM pointing to a usb install for 1809 using: E:\Sources\Install.esd as the source, which failed at around 85% with error 2.
I then mounted an 1809 ISO and ran DISM again using this command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:F:\Sources\Install.wim. It failed at around 85% with error 2.
Here is the DISM log for this last run:
Dism Log of attempted repair using 1809 Mounted ISO.txt
I down loaded and tried to manually install the update with these results:
I’m trying to fix this instead of reinstalling, hoping I will learn something in the process.
Thanks in advance for any help solving this.
