Did you try to change the esp gpt attributes?

Another thing to try: if you didn't already do it, download the windows 10 media creation tool and create the windows 10 installation media (USB or CD).

Then:

Rich (BB code):

dism /image:YourWindowsDriveLetter:\windows /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:YourESDDriveLetter:\sources\install.esd:x Index 1 should be for windows 10 home Index 5 should be for windows 10 pro

can I run this command from the Windows RE? I have a usb with windows 10 installation too. I will try doing the dism command first then change

Miguel10 · Jan 11, 2021

I think I'll leave the gpt attribute cause it should be fine, is fresh.
I ran the dism command and got errors, the error said "make sure that the image path and the windows directory for the image exist and I have read permission.
I checked and yes I have read and write permissions on c:\windows
I used the esd from usb drive, drive letter for the esd was g. Was it suppose to copy files from the pen drive to my c drive? Also why :x not :g or :c?
I'm attaching the dism log, I ran it 2 or 3 times.

xilolee · Jan 11, 2021

You used the x for the index, but you should change it according to your OS index (re-check my previous reply in the code).

If you are using windows 10 home, index should be 1; hence:

Rich (BB code):

dism /image:c:\windows /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:g:\sources\install.esd:1

If you are using another listed version, you must use its index.
Another example; if you are using Windows 10 Education N, index is 4:

Rich (BB code):

dism /image:c:\windows /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:g:\sources\install.esd:4

ok but still got same error, I used code 5. and I type exactly you wrote but used 5.
here's the latest log.

xilolee · Jan 11, 2021

If you have free space on c:, create the scratchdir directory on it:

Code:

md c:\scratchdir

Then try this command:

Code:

dism /image:c:\windows /scratchdir:c:\scratchdir /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:g:\sources\install.esd:5 /limitaccess

xilolee · Jan 11, 2021

I tried to perform some commands in the recovery environment and they worked; my drive got the D letter:

Code:

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir:d:\windows
dism /image:d:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth

(I used scanhealth instead of restorehealth, but it should work)

Let me know if this works, otherwise I could try the procedure from the windows 10 iso.

it didn't work same error 2.
I tried it in different ways, this way-> g:\sources\install.esd:5 and then tried going into g:\sources and just typed install.esd:5
let's try the image mode.

it said Error: 2

make sure that the image path and windows directory for the image exist, and you have read permissions on the folder.

I'll try those 2 commands in windows RE in a bit. But I believe I tried the first dism command in RE and it gave me the same error.

Miguel10 · Jan 11, 2021

from windows RE those 2 commands gave me the exact error message.

Why should I execute bootrec? isn't it for MBR disks? I could if you want me to run windows this way.

everytime I run sfc /scannow from the recovery enviroment not while on Windows 10 cause I can't get to windows desktop, it gets to 100% scanning and then says resource protection can't perform the requested operation. I tried tutorials to fix this and still get the same error. I think if I run succesfuly SFC /scannow I'll get my windows 10 back again. It will started when I switched the power switch to off instead then shutting down as usual. I don't think there is any other errors other than corrupted system files can someone check this with me?

I tried startup auto repair but it doesn't fix it as shown on the photograph.
View attachment 64795 View attachment 64796
View attachment 64797That's my current partition setup on Disk 0 and the only partition with windows 10 is partition 3.

Yesterday, I had this issue on my lenovo x260 laptop. I remove the battery and put after sometimes into my laptop but the windows autorepair automatically perform and system restore the issue will resolved! but the issue comes after the windows upgrade because some files won't support the system files.

For the iso: pro should be 6.

Type:

diskpart
lis dis
lis vol
exit
bcdedit | find "osdevice"

See if this command can run in Windows RE

Change C: and or G: as needed:

dism /image:c:\windows /scratchdir:c:\scratchdir /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:esd:g:\sources\install.esd:6 /limitaccess

A reset save files equivalent is another possible fix (reinstall drivers and applications).
