Heya,

DISM reached 52.8% and "The specified buffer contains ill-formed data." has appeared again.

Now I'll need to install the en-GB language pack and a specific update from November last year to provide the next fix, so this may take some time.
 
Hmm, none of my regular Win10 pro VM's have the latest corrupted component, I have this one only on an Enterprise version which I had to rebuild after loading a previous snapshot!

Please do the following first, just to check some things.

Run COMPACT to check the compression state of files
  • Open the Start menu of Windows and type CMD.
  • When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
  • Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt and press enter.
Code:
compact C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft-windows-w..lient-aux.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.3693_en-gb_25edf62a4761af90\wuapi.dll.mui
  • Once done, copy and paste the result from the CMD window in your next post.
 
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5131]

C:\Windows\system32>compact C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft-windows-w..lient-aux.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.3693_en-gb_25edf62a4761af90\wuapi.dll.mui

Listing C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft-windows-w..lient-aux.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.3693_en-gb_25edf62a4761af90\
New files added to this directory will not be compressed.

10240 : 4096 = 2.5 to 1 X wuapi.dll.mui

Of 1 files within 1 directories
1 are compressed and 0 are not compressed.
10,240 total bytes of data are stored in 4,096 bytes.
The compression ratio is 2.5 to 1.
