Server 2016 DISM corrupt & SFCFix never finishes

[SleepyDude]

Can you post the result of: DISM /online /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore

It gets to 99.6%, says it completed successfully, says there are 0 reclaimable packages, and does not recommend a cleanup. Did you solve the problem!??! :)

 

[SleepyDude]

It seems so, DISM is no longer reporting ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT and completes the operations without errors.

YAY! Thank you so much - this was an installation in a VM on a very small SSD and WinSXS store had grown to like 50gigs and was just killing my drive space because it couldn't be cleaned. As a result of your help, it's now down to 9 gigs. Thanks again I really appreciate it!

Great, I wasn't expecting a so big change!

I'm running that on a server at my work but it only have a Component Store of 12GB.

I think the resetbase is what bought back those extra few gigs.

 

[SleepyDude]

Yes it removes more...

Using the /ResetBase switch with the /StartComponentCleanup parameter of DISM.exe on a running version of Windows 10 removes all superseded versions of every component in the component store.

All existing service packs and updates cannot be uninstalled after this command is completed. This will not block the uninstallation of future service packs or updates.
