[SOLVED] "Error: 0x800f081f" in Windows 10 Pro

[odraciR]

Hi,

I'm having trouble while running "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" in the Command Prompt as an admin, as I get "Error: 0x800f081f - The source files could not be found." I downloaded a new Windows 10 ISO and tried to fix the errors using the "install.wim" file, but without success, getting the same "Error: 0x800f081f".

[===========================82.5%=============== ]
Error: 0x800f081f

Running "sfc /scannow" in the Command Prompt as an admin, the scan completes without any errors being found.

Attached below are "dism.log" (from running "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth"), "CBS.log" (from running "sfc /scannow"), "ComponentsScanner.txt" (from running "ComponentsScanner.exe") and "SFCFix.txt" (from running "SFCFix.exe").

I'd be grateful if anyone can help me resolve these issues, so I can run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" successfully.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Support for this build (1709 - 16299.xxx) ended on April 2019.

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

@Maxstar,

I am extremely grateful for your help and your time!

I carried out the procedures you recommended and obtained the following reports generated by the checks:

# DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.16299.15

Image Version: 10.0.16299.192

[==========================100.0%==========================] The restore operation completed successfully.
The operation completed successfully.

# SFC /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

Checking with "ComponentsScanner.exe" reports errors in "Missing Registry Keys".

Below are all the logs that were generated in my checks.

Hi,

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.

• Copy and paste the following (code) into the Search box and click the Search Files button.

imageres.dll

• When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'Search.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also.
• Post the logfile Search.txt as attachment in your next reply.

 

[odraciR]

Done! Here it is!

This looks good, so please restart the system and run the System File Checker again. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

SFC /Scannow

 

[odraciR]

The command "SFC /scannow" provided the following output:

# SFC /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

And the log below.

This looks good, is there a specific reason why your are still running this old build of Windows 10?

 

[odraciR]

The computer I'm using is also a bit old and already had this version installed.

 

[Maxstar]

Okay, if you want to stay on this buid it's okay for me, the support for Windows 10 (22H2) will also end this year. If there are no remaining issues we can mark this thread as solved.

 

[odraciR]

It's okay! Thanks for your help!
