How to Repair Windows 10 Image using DISM

Information

If a Windows image becomes unserviceable, you can use the DeploymentImaging and Servicing Management (DISM) tool to update the files andcorrect the problem.

For example, you would use DISM to fix Windows component storecorruption when a sfc /scannow command is unable to repair corrupted ormodified system files because the component store (source) is corrupted.SFC should be able to repair the files afterwards.

For more information, see:

Fixing component store corruption in Windows 8 and Windows Server2012 - The Windows Servicing Guy - Site Home - TechNet BlogsHow to Repair a Windows Image

This tutorial will show you how to do an Inbox Corruption Repair with theDISM /Cleanup-Image tool to fix component store corruption in Windows 10.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do an InboxCorruption Repair with the Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management(DISM) tool.

Note

The DISM /Cleanup-Image tool saves it's log files in the file locations below. Tobe able to view these logs, you would need to copy them from the locationsbelow to your desktop, then open them from your desktop.

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

CONTENTS:

Option One: To Run "DISM /Cleanup-Image" Tool in Command PromptOption Two: To Run "DISM /Cleanup-Image" Tool in PowerShell

OPTION ONE

To Run "DISM /Cleanup-Image" Tool in Command Prompt

1. Open an elevated command prompt.

2. Do step3, step 4, step 5 (recommended), step 6, or step 7 below for what DISM commandyou would like to use.

3. To Use DISM /CheckHealth Command

Note

You would use /CheckHealth to only check whether the image has beenflagged as corrupted by a failed process and whether the corruption can be

repaired. This is just a quick way to see if corruption currently exists, and toinform you if there is corruption. This does not fix anything or create a log.This will finish running almost instantly.

A) In the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the command below, press Enter,and go to step 8 below. (see screenshot below)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

5. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth Command

Note

(recommended) You would use /RestoreHealth to scan the image forcomponent store corruption, perform repair operations automatically, andrecords that corruption to the log file. This can take around 10-15 minutesup to a few hours to finish depending on the level of corruption. It will stay

at 20% for a while before continuing.

If this command fails, then you can do step 6 or step 7 below instead.


Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


1 19-Mar-16

6. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth /Source:wim Command

Note

You would use /Source with /RestoreHealth to specify the location of aninstall.wim file as the source of known good versions of files that can beused for the repair. This can take around 10-15 minutes up to a few hoursto finish depending on the level of corruption. It will stay at 20% for a whilebefore continuing.

This can be useful if step 5 above was not able to repair the Windowsimage (component store).

The install.wim file will be in the Sources folder of a mounted Windows 10ISO from Microsoft TechBench (use ISO from OPTION ONE at link) file.

If you have an install.esd file instead of install.wim, then you would needto use step 7 below instead.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:Full Path to install.wimfile:1

The install.esd file will be in the Sources folder of a mounted Windows 10ISO from Media Creation Tool (use ISO from OPTION TWO at link) file.

If you have an install.wim file instead of install.esd, then you would needto use step 6 above instead.

Hi

I have an inquiry :

If I wish "To Use DISM /RestoreHealth /Source:wim Command" (step 6) to

restore the health of my 10240 installation, can I do this? Is it possible, I

And if I have the official 10162 ISO on my desktop, mounted so found on

drive G: , which is the full path I should use?

So, in my case the command is :

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:G:\sources


?

Because when I run it this way it says that it cannot find the Source..

Hello Joanne,

You can use the command below from step 5 option one to do so unless

DISM is unable to repair the Windows image from the default source.


Since it says it can't find the specified source using step 6, your ISO may

have been created with .esd instead of .wim. If so, give step 7 a try to see it

works.

Yep, in that case, use the command below to run the DISM command from

the install.wim source on your G: drive.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:G:\sources

I just did it but it cannot find the source files. I mounted the official 10162

ISO so the G:\ drive was created. Then I run the command. But it doesn'twork.

Okay... I've run the 3 out of the 4 commands and...I have issues as it seems....

So, what can I do next, please?

Thank you.

PS: how can I upload the CBS log file, in case it's needed?

In that case, you may need to refresh Windows 10 instead.

To upload the CBS.log, you would need to copy it to your desktop first, ZIP

it, then upload the ZIP.

Thank you for your support, Brink!

Please, allow me to ask you one simple question, before reading that entire

tutorial :

- I do not care at all what will happen with my Win 10 TP installation, I do

not care wiping everything out of it - because I've not installed anything

important- but what I DO care tremendously about is my Win 7 HomePremium installation, it being in a Dual boot system with 10, on this

computer. So, I ask : this refreshing or whatever, can it affect my Win 7 in

ANY way? Should I unplug my Win 7 SSD before attempting this refreshing?

I would clean install this Win 10 for sure but it is this special occasion now.

MS does not offer an official 10240 ISO. So clean-installing would bring me

in waiting for 10240 again, etc etc...

So?

Oh! And one last thing... Until a couple of hours ago I was sitting with 10240

untouched, waiting to get updated. But I got bored so I performed a full

Disk Cleanup, system files included, AND I have deleted all the files in the

SoftwareDistribution/Downloads folder. Will this Refresh still work after all

this?
