Не секрет, что в Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012 / R2 .Net Framework 3.5 не идет в комплекте поставки ОС (в рамках концепции Features on Demand), и для его установки требует дистрибутив ОС или прямой доступ к сайту обновлений Microsoft. В одной из предыдущих статей мы уже показывали, как установить .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8. На днях сразу на нескольких системах столкнулись с ошибкой установки .Net Framework 3.5. Проблема наблюдалась при установке компонента как на серверной Windows Server 2012, так и на клиентской Windows 8.1.

Что самое интересное, победить проблему получилось разными методами : ).

Содержание:

  • Невозможно установить .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012
  • Некорректные обновления, препятствующие установке .NET 3.5
  • Конфликт Language Pack и .NET Framework 3.5

Невозможно установить .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012

При онлайн установке .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows 8 через Панель управления (Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off) появляется ошибка 0x800F0906:

Некорректные обновления, препятствующие установке .NET 3.5

В одной из свежей статей базы знаний Microsoft http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3005628 описывается проблема с августовскими обновлениями безопасности Windows, установка которых приводит к ситуации, когда невозможно установить компонент .NET Framework 3.5. Речь идет о двух обновлениях:

  • KB2966828 — MS14-046: Security update for the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2: August 12, 2014
  • KB2966827 — MS14-046: Security update for the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012: August 12, 2014

Как мы видим из описаний, указанные обновления безопасности предназначены для .NET Framework 3.5 в Windows 8.1 и Windows Server 2012 R2, причем устанавливаются эти обновления не зависимо от того, установлен ли компонент .NET Framework 3.5 в системе или нет.

Понять установлены ли данные обновления в системе можно так или с помощью такой команды Powershell:

Get-HotFix |? {$ _. Hotfixid -like "*2966828*"}

Если любое из этих обновление установлено в системе, его нужно удалить (процедура подробно описана в статье Как правильно удалить обновление в Windows ). После этого можно установить .Net Framework 3.5 как обычно (он установится без ошибки), а затем еще раз установить удаленные обновления (дабы не оставлять дыру в системе).

Совет. Альтернативно на портале Microsoft вместо удаления/установки обновлений рекомендуют установить хотфикс 3005628. Данный фикс удалит обновления 2966827 2966828 в системах, где не установлен.NET Framework 3.5. Какой способ удобнее – решать вам.

Конфликт Language Pack и .NET Framework 3.5

На машине с Windows 8.1, на которой также присутствовала рассматриваемая проблема, указанные выше обновлений отсутствовали. В попытках решить проблему перебрали множество вариантов, начиная от последовательного удаления всех обновлений и заканчивая восстановлением хранилища компонентов. Но эффекта так и не достигли…

Как не странно, помогло удаление дополнительного (русского) языкового пакета (команда lpksetup). lpksetup- установка/удаление языкового пакета в Windows 8 / Server 2012

После удаления языкового пакета, .NET Framework устанавливается корректно. Затем можно заново установить нужный Language Pack.

How to fix the Windows Update Error CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING 0xf081F

This article discusses Error CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING, also known as 0xf081F and it means Source for package or file not found, resolvesource() unsuccessful

About Windows Update Error

There are numerous potential errors that a user may encounter when downloading and installing Windows updates.

When these kinds of errors occur, you may experience a number of things that can help you what steps you need to perform in order to resolve the problem. Here are symptoms, causes and probable resolutions to the problem.

Definitions (Beta)

Here we list some definitions for the words contained in your error, in an attempt to help you understand your problem. This is a work in progress, so sometimes we might define the word incorrectly, so feel free to skip this section!

  • File — A block of arbitrary information, or resource for storing information, accessible by the string-based name or path
  • Package — Package broadly refers to two things: 1 a usable unitcomponent of builtcompiled of software, or 2 a partition of the global namespace java.

Symptoms of CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING — 0xf081F

While updating computer, user might suddenly experience a sudden slow processing or a download which fails to complete. The failing computer might also go into a sudden reboot, either a single instance of the computer shutting down or a continuous loop which prevents user to log into the computer. Error messages might also come up the screen.

Fix 0xf081F (Error CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING)
(For illustrative purposes only)

Causes of 0xf081F — CBS_E_SOURCE_MISSING

What could have happened? Windows Updates are downloaded from Microsoft. File corruption may happen at any time when updates are downloaded due to different reasons. It may be because the previous update did not install properly. It can also be because there was a problem receiving the file, which may be due to problems with system files. Whatever the case may be, users can correct the problem by following these repair methods.

Repair Methods

If a repair method works for you, please click the upvote button to the left of the answer, this will let other users know which repair method is currently working the best.

Please note: Neither ErrorVault.com nor it’s writers claim responsibility for the results of the actions taken from employing any of the repair methods listed on this page — you complete these steps at your own risk.

Method 1 — Run Network or Update Troubleshooter

For Windows 7

  • Right click the Network icon on the system tray, located on the right bottom part of the desktop.
  • Click Troubleshoot problem. It will launch a wizard which will diagnose the problem.
  • Run the wizard and let it finish.
  • Run Windows Update after running the troubleshooter to check if the problem is fixed.

For Windows 8

  • Press the Window key on your keyboard. This is the key with the Windows logo just beside the Ctrl key.
  • On the appearing search box, type Network problems, it will come up with several search results, choose Identify and repair network problems.
  • Run the Wizard that will come up and let it finish diagnosing and applying correction to the problem.
  • Run Windows update once again.

For Windows 10

  • Click the Start button, then click the Settings button to open settings.
  • On Windows Settings, click Update & Security.
  • On the left side, click Troubleshoot, then click Windows Update on the tab that will appear on the right side.
  • This will run the troubleshooter and apply fix to the problem.
  • After this is done, run Windows Update again to see if the problem was fixed.

Method 2 — Clear Updates Folder

You might have downloaded the update several times and it’s still doing the same thing. You can then try clearing the Updates folder by doing the following:

  • Click Windows key on your keyboard together with the letter R to open the Run window.
  • On this window, type c:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownload, then click OK.
  • This will launch the folder where the downloaded Windows updates are.
  • Highlight everything by clicking Ctrl+A on the keyboard, then Delete everything in the folder.
  • Sometimes some of the files will be difficult to erase. Just try deletion over again until nothing is left in the folder.
  • Run Windows update again to check.

Method 3 — Turn Off Anti-virus program

Your security center might be preventing the files from getting downloaded. If tha is the case, then just open your antivirus program by right clicking on it on your system tray, then disable it from there. Then run the updater again after this action. Just remember to turn it on again after downloading and installing the Windows updates so that your computer will be protected again.

Method 4 — Remove Other Expansion Drives

Your computer might be using an external device like an external drive or an external DVD or SD card reader. These devices might also cause your computer to act in an abnormal manner. In that case, disconnect the device by unplugging device or by going to the Device Manager and by disabling them from there.

Method 5 — Use Windows CD

When all else fails, you can use the Installation disk or download a copy of the Media Creation Tool to install updates from the disk.
Windows 7
Installing updates from the Windows 7 DVD is done pretty much the same way as clean install except for a few differences:

  • Instead of booting from the DVD, you can run the installer inside windows.
  • Make sure you are logged in an administrator account.
  • Ensure that you have added the installer in your Security Center exclusion or you may disable your firewall and antivirus to ensure that will not be a problem.
  • Place your installer disk into your DVD drive and run autoplay. If it did not automatically run, you may right click the DVD drive and click run autoplay.
  • You will see the AutoPlay window, just click Run Setup.
  • Once the installer is up, click Install Now button.
  • The next screen should give you the option to Go online to get the latest updates for installation. Before clicking that, make sure that the radio button at the bottom of that window is not ticked.
  • This will run the search and install utility, wait for it to finish.
  • Next screen will show you license terms, click the radio button to accept, then click next.
  • Then you will see two options, to do a Custom Install or an Upgrade.
  • Click the Upgrade button and let the computer install the upgrade.
  • Just let the process finish, supply any information that may be asked of you.

Windows 10
Windows 10 users have rarely experienced problem downloading updates using normal procedure but in case you are one of the rare cases when this occur, you may download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.

  • Make sure you have a blank flash drive where you will install your windows 10 media creation tool.
  • Download the installation file from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209. It will guide you through the process.
  • Once done, open Windows Explorer and click the flash drive on the list of drives.
  • Double click the Setup.exe file to launch installation file.
  • Select language, time and currency format and input method, then click next.
  • Click Install Now button. This will lead to the next window which will allow Upgrade or Custom installation.
  • Click Upgrade to install upgrades.
  • Follow the prompts and let installation finish.

I was having some issues with Cortana on the recently released windows 10, so decided to run a SFC /Scan Now and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /restorehealth.

DISM Failed with

«Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.
Use the «Source» option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log»

The log is here: https://app.box.com/s/9ing5w3gs7b538d8nzqvz7r4y0msr78r

I could not understand the errors, only that it can’t seem to find the source and google searching has gotten me no where fast.

SFC Fails with:

«Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix someof them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windirLogsCBSCBS.log. For example C:WindowsLogsCBSCBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing
scenarios.»

Again I have had no luck in finding a fix.

CBS log is here: https://app.box.com/s/0zrlj0dnfx0mcjpoen7olqqawy1rp1ck

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

I was finally able to repair my Windows installation such that SFC returned a normal result.

Using a freshly downloaded USB image of W10, I did an inplace upgrade as suggested in magicandre1981‘s comments.

After that, there was a different file that was corrupt and could not be repaired.

Again, DISM did not initially repair this. However, I was able to determine that the file in question was located in the C:windowswinsxs and also the C:windowssystem32 folders.

Since the previous installation did not flag that file as corrupt, I figured I could use the previous installations copy of that file as a good file.

Before running DISM again, I executed the following from an elevated command prompt and then re-booted the machine, as per instructions in an article at thewindowsclub.com which is not presently accessible. I’m not sure if the reboot is necessary, as that is not mentioned in another article.

net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net stop cryptsvc
cd %systemroot%system32
ren catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc

By running DISM, and using c:windows.oldwindowswinsxs as the Source, I was able to repair the store. And then running SFC resulted in the original file being repaired.

Why this is happening, I have no idea. On a different machine, (and different internet connection/ISP) the upgraded (from W7) W10 installation also showed a corrupt file when running SFC. On that machine, DISM was able to repair it using the default Windows Update as a source.

The below post initially stemmed from an Exchange Risk Assessment which noted that all of the customer’s Exchange servers were missing critical Windows updates.  The customer’s security team were slightly upset as they believed (mistakenly) that all assets were properly updated.  This was not the case.  When we looked into the details, the monthly Windows Server 2012 R2 updates had been failing to install for the last 18 months….

Note that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 changed their update methodology in October 2016 to mirror the update distribution behaviour in newer versions of Windows.

The Windows Component Store  was introduced in Windows XP to support side by side assemblies and enhanced in Vista track all the OS components.  For those who worked on NT or Windows 2000/2003 servers there are always some funny stories around managing the OS over time.  For example if you wanted to install an OS feature on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine, potentially you needed to provide RTM, SP1 and SP2 source files.  This was due to how the installation .inf files were chained as the OS was updated over time with service packs and hotfixes. Windows knew it needed particular files from a particular source and would prompt as needed.  Well, not always.  Sometimes that went a bit wrong.

NT had its own quirk where there was no chaining.  After installing an OS component you had to reapply the service pack.  The act of re-applying the service pack would over write the older file from the CD with the new file from the service pack.  Yes, that really was a thing.

After having to deal with those issues for 15 years, CBS promised much goodness.  Typically though, two things happened to sour an admin on CBS.  Firstly they saw the perceived size of the C:WindowsWinSxS folder, and secondly they experienced CBS corruption.

In may cases, the first indication of a CBS issue was Windows Update failing to install an update.  Trying to install the update manually after downloading from the Windows Update Catalog, or using Windows Update would always fail.  There are many Windows Update failure codes and each has their own root cause.

Note that you can directly search for a given update in the Windows Update Catalog, add to basket and then download it.  This can be very useful when trying to correct the issue – more on that trick later.

Symptoms

As mentioned earlier, there are a range of error codes reported by Windows Update when it cannot service the OS.  In addition to CBS preventing updates from installing, I’ve also seen other «interesting» issues such as:

  • Exchange DAG fails to install as the underlying OS cluster components can not install

  • SCOM agent crashing on NTdll.dll exception

  • Exchange IIS app pools crashing on process exceptions

  • Out of memory and assorted performance issues

The classic WindowsUpdate.log or the new Get-WindowsUpdateLog cmdlet will log the failure from a Windows Update perspective.  However if the underlying issue is due to CBS then we need to look at logs which are focused on that area.  The best examples of such logs are the DISM and CBS logs which can be found in the respective locations below:

  • C:WindowsLogsDISMDISM.log
  • C:WindowsLogsCBSCBS.log

Typically the DISM log will state that there is a CBS issue, and we need to look into the CBS.log to identify the particular package which has the issue.

The below example shows Windows Update failing with error code 0x800f0831.

2018-01-28 13:14:06, Info CBS Store corruption, manifest missing for package: Package_56_for_KB3081320~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.1

Remediation Tools

Depending upon the exact issue, you may need to run one or more of these tools: 

  • CHKDSK

  • DISM

  • SFC

If you work for Contoso, the simple commands listed in the first section will suffice.  In reality though, things can get quite squirrely and we need to look at more advanced and/or different options.

That is covered in the latter section of this post. 

CHKDSK

CHKDSK.exe can check and correct a volume’s file system.   This may be required if the NTFS filesystem is suspect after a storage «event«. 

The CHKDSK tool is documented here. 

Below is an example for scanning a local machine’s C: drive.

CHKDSK.exe C: /R /F /B

This will require a reboot and considerable time to then perform the scan.  There are other options to perform SpotFix and online scans in newer versions of Windows, though that may not help that much for the OS drive depending on the issue. 

After the system reboots look for an EventID 1001 in the Application Event Log.  The event source will be Wininit and should be an information level event.

DISM Scan

Note that Deployment Image Servicing and Management  (DISM) can do multiple tasks on the Windows OS.  Here we will focus on the scanning and repairing of CBS issues.  DISM is not available for Windows Server 2008 R2 for example and the System Update Readiness (SUR) tool should be used. 

There are a some different options that can be used:

  • DISM.exe /CheckHealth

  • DISM.exe /ScanHealth

  • DISM.exe /RestoreHealth

Use /CheckHealth to check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted by a failed process and whether the corruption can be repaired.
Use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption.
Use /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, and  then perform repair operations automatically.

Use /Source with /RestoreHealth to specify the location of known good versions of files that can be used for the repair. For more information on specifying a source location, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.
Use /LimitAccess to prevent DISM from contacting WU/WSUS

Note that the /Online specifies we will work with the current Windows installation rather than correct an offline image using the /Image switch.

Example: DISM.exe /Image:C:offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth   /Source:C:TestMount

Most of the online articles will specify to start with this command to scan and repair CBS:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

We will come back to DISM later, with some more advanced options.

SFC

Once DISM has done its work, time to run SFC.

SFC.exe is the System File Checker utility which will scan and verify the integrity of protected system files.  Should an incorrect version be found, it can be replaced.

The SFC tool is documented here. 

Example syntax to scan and repair the local machine would be:

SFC.exe /SCANNOW

Typically this is run AFTER DISM reports no issues. 

IF Squirrel Factor > 10

If the standard DISM commands do not correct the issue, then its time to break out the rough stuff.  In many cases a DISM /RestoreHealth ends in an error stating that the source files could not be found.  By default DISM will typically try to contact Windows Update to download the required components.  If the default location for Features on Demand is specified then that location is used. 

Running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Ends in Source Files Could Not be Found Error

The error text is included for accessibility.

The source files could not be found.
Use the «Source» option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log

Note:  There are some known issues with the PowerShell components so you may want to review this article.

So we need to point DISM at a location where the relevant files are available.  However in order to determine a suitable location, we need to identify which component is causing the issue.

Is it a base part of the OS or an update that was installed?   If it is a base OS component then we could use the install WIM located on the install media.   If the required component is an update that was downloaded and installed, i.e. not part of base DVD image, then we need to access a WIM that has that component installed.  Alternatively a separate server which has the update in question installed can be used.

How to determine which component is causing the issue?

If we open up the the C:WindowsLogsDISMDISM.log  in Notepad, we can see the error 0x800f081f listed there:

2020-08-06 13:35:52, Info                  DISM   DISM Package Manager: PID=6472 TID=6784  Error in operation: source for package or file not found, ResolveSource() unsuccessful. (CBS HRESULT=0x800f081f) — CCbsConUIHandler::Error
2020-08-06 13:35:52, Error                 DISM   DISM Package Manager: PID=6472 TID=13972 Failed finalizing changes. — CDISMPackageManager::Internal_Finalize(hr:0x800f081f)

However, what component is actually failing?  let’s look in the CBS.log for those details.  In the CBS.log we see:

p)    CSI Payload Corrupt            amd64_windows-defender-management-powershell_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.0_none_1137c685b804c9a3MSFT_MpThreatCatalog.cdxml
Repair failed: Corrupted replacement payload.

In the example above it is an OS PowerShell component which is experiencing an issue.  It it were an update, then you would see the relevant KB number listed.

To fix this we need to specify where DISM can get the required files.  That may prove to be tricky as not all of the syntax for all options are fully laid out.

We have a few different options to get the required files:

  • Contact Windows Update

  • A different Windows install which contains the required files

  • Mount a WIM image file to the local file system.

  • Access a WIM image file directly

Chance are that the WU option already failed, else you would not be reading this far down the page.  If we want to look at a WIM file to list the images inside, to ensure we have the right source the below command will help:

DISM.exe /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:Install.wim

Using DISM to List WIM Image Details

We will use the second image as it is a match.  We specify that now in the DISM command – note the :2 syntax after the WIM file name.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:E:SourcesInstall.wim:2 /LimitAccess

DISM — Remote Server

If another machine has the required components, then we can point to that.  The below uses a server called Exch-2016 and hits the admin $ share to obtain the files from that other machine’s WinSXS folder.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:\Exch-2016c$Windowswinsxs /LimitAccess

Note — ensure that you have access to the required resource from the cmd prompt where you are running this. If in doubt, map a drive to provide the credentials and use the drive mapping in your command.
For example, map drive M: to \Exch-2016c$

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:M:Windowswinsxs /LimitAccess

DISM – Inject Package

This process is outlined in KB 4477073.

Using the steps mentioned about, download the update from the Windows Update Catalog and then use DISM to inject the package into the running OS.

Once the package has been installed, then re-run  /RestoreHealth command.

That sounds great but you may have to expand the downloaded MSU file and then use DISM to inject the relevant CAB file.  This could be summarised as:

  1. Expand the downloaded file to a folder.  For example:

    • Expand.exe  C:TempFileWeDownloadedNameGoesHere.msu /F:*  C:TempExtracted

  2. Use DISM to inject the extracted CAB

    • DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:TempExtractedSomeFileName.cab

  3. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Discussion in ‘Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade’ started by HopefulComputerScientist, Jul 26, 2019.

  1. How to overcome Error 0x800f081f «The source files could not be found» when performing DISM…

    I have a dual-boot laptop with Ubuntu 18.04.2 and Windows 10 Home Edition. I can’t get to the sign in screen in Windows because it always tries to perform a Startup Repair and fails. I’ve tried using System Restore: when using the most recent restore point, the Startup Repair problem persists. When using the second most recent point (and last I have), before a Windows Update I get the 0x81000204 error message. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    • Following this guide with several adaptations due to not being able to boot into into Windows:
      • Ran the Command Line from the Recovery Environment (have used both the RE Windows takes me to after Startup Repair fails and the one accessible by booting from a Windows bootable USB)
      • Replaced /Online by /Image:C:
      • Downloaded the Windows 10 ISO image from the official website, then created a Windows bootable USB following the first method on this guide.
      • Used this guide to see which intall.wim files were inside the install.wim file inside the sources folder. There are a total of 13 editions, 3 of them pertaining to Windows 10 Home: the «regular one», one called Windows 10 Home N and one called Windows 10 Home Single Language.
      • Ran the following command to extract the (what I think is) relevant edition to my Windows primary partition:

    dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:G:sourcesinstall.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:C:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity

    (G: is the drive letter of the Windows bootable USB I created earlier). It ran without throwing out any errors.

    • Added the argument /Source with several differente variations:

    dism /Image:C: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:Wim:C:install.wim /LimitAccess

    dism /Image:C: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:Wim:C:install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

    As suggested in the Configure a Windows Repair Source Microsoft page, I’ve also tried to use a Windows side-by-side folder from the bootable USB, by running:

    dism /Image:C: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:sourcesSxS

    Tried mounting the install.wim image first in my Windows primary partition by running the following command, which I found somewhere I can’t remember:

    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:C:install.wim /index:1 mountdir:C:Imagesmounted

    This operation ran successfully. I then ran

    dism /Image:C: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:Imagesmounted

    as suggested in point 1 of the Configure a Windows Repair Source page.

    I’ve tried diffrent indexes (1, 2 and 3), deleting the «Wim:» part from /Source:Wim:C:install.wim, using the bootable USB directly as the /Source drive, creating a bootable USB in a Windows computer (in that case it comes with a install.esd which I handled acording to this guide. I’ve successfully ran

    DISM /Image:C: /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup and

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

    I’ve run an offline SFC which returned Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

    Every single time I ran dism /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth commands I got the warning «The scratch directory size might be insufficient to perform this operation. This can cause unexpected behavior. Use the /ScratchDir option to point to a folder with sufficient scratcg space. The recommended size is at least 1024 MB«. I don’t know if this made any difference.

    But most importantly (and cause of much frustratrion) I always get the

    «Error 0x800f081f, The source files could not be found.
    Use the «Source» option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature (…)

    The DISM log file can be found at X:windowsLogsDISMdism.log»

    I’ve looked through the log files and I can find what I suppose are relevant messages like

    So this makes me suspect I’m doing something wrong with the DISM source specification and maybe the replacement for /Online argument (I’ve tried /Image:C:Windows and it didn’t work), but I can’t find out what. So my question is, given all of this information

    Is there a way to successfully run dism to repair my Windows image and if so, what is it?

    Thank you for your patience and sorry for such a long post.

    Best regards

    I have this error and have tried to follow all the suggestions in the post. I first noticed the problem a few weeks ago and my Windows 10 installation had only automatically applied the Creators Update maybe 2 months ago.

    The history of this PC was:

    — 2H 2015

    — Clean install of windows 7 Pro from original HP media

    — Apply all updates

    — Free windows 10 Upgrade

    — All windows updates applied in the interim, including «Anniversary Update»

    — 1Q 2018 Creators Update applied automatically.

    Can someone help provide this blockage to the Windows Update process?

    Thanks

  3. Error: 0x800f081f, «The source files could not be found.» after performing DISM command

    After running the DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth,I receive «[==========================100.0%==========================]

    Error: 0x800f081f

    The source files could not be found.

    Use the «Source» option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log.»
    Since I upgraded A PREINSTALLED Windows 7 to Windows 10 I have no available ISO/IMG to point a source location.

    So, though it shows 100% completed operation, I am not sure it’s OK.
    dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

    and

    sfc /scannow

    return messages for no problems.
    Could the problem be related to the fact that I run Windows under the Insider programme?

    If not what then should I do to get to a positive result?

    Error: 0x800f081f, «The source files could not be found.» after performing DISM command

    I’ve run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth with the following results:

    Error: 0x800f081f

    The source files could not be found.

    Use the «Source» option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

    When I go to the suggested link
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077 this what I see:

    Choose a Repair Source

    You can use Windows Update to provide the files that are required to restore a Windows feature or repair a corrupted operating system. You can also configure Group Policy to gather the required files from a network location. Multiple source locations can
    be specified in the Group Policy.

    To use Windows Update to restore optional features and repair Windows images

    •Windows Update will be used by default if it is allowed by the policy settings on the computer.

    •If you want to use Windows Update as a primary or backup source for files that are used to restore optional features or repair Windows images, you should make sure that your firewall is configured to allow access to Windows Update.

    It really doesn’t tell you how to designate a repairs source. How do you do that?
