Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found

Hi,

Getting “sfc /scannow” and “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” issues.

It seems that I’m not able to fix some corruption.
The main reason I stared with SFC command was that my icons on my task bar, disappeared.

SFC found issues but was unable to resolve them.

I ran the following commands:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I also used “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess”
to point to my X drive which is my external drive that has Install.wim file.

The error I’m getting is:

[ICODE]C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 10.0.14393.0Image Version: 10.0.14393.0 [===========================91.5%================== === ] 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:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log[/ICODE]

This is the dism.log file output:
dism.log - Pastebin.com

Can anyone help please?

I was able to solve it eventually. Here are the steps:

1. Create a Windows Installation media, using the Windows Media Creation Tool.
2. I didn’t choose to create ISO file. I selected the 1st option in the list.
3. After this was done, I referred to the “Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth/Source:X:\sources\install.esd:1” command and adding the option of
4. Note that I didn’t use /LimtAccess - not using this options allows windows to use the windows update service to find the required files to fix the issue.
5. Another important note is that in my case I had to use ‘install.esd’ file because that is the file that is generated when creating the windows installation disk.

After running the above command, I was able to see it reached 100% with success message at the end.

Followed by “sfc /scannow” everything is fixed.
