Hi guys.. I came upon an issue when attempting to repair my PC. I ran this command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. After it finished I received an error message stating the following:

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


Below is a screen grab of the error highlighted in orange. Attached is my DISM log as well. What can I do to fix this?

You’ll require Windows installation media & use this as the source:
Step 6 or 7 here:
Or try an in-place repair by downloading the media creation tool, running this & choosing to install, ensure ‘Keep everything’ is automatically selected & continue with the installation.
