title: I keep getting error 0x800f081f while trying to run DISM with /RestoreHealth option (Windows 10 Pro)
body: <p>This problem is on Windows 10 Pro.</p>
  
  <p>I know this question has been posed lots of times in lots of places, but I now need to ask for help on this while I still have a few tufts of hair left.</p>
  
  <p>I have been getting random BSODs recently, and after a number of memchk's and scandisk's etc., I ran DISM with /restorehealth option. After getting to 100% the process eventually fails with</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: 0x800f081f
  The source files could not be found.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have visted many sites in an attempt to fix this, including around Stack Overflow several times. Nothing has worked for me. I have tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>followed by</p>
  
  <pre><code>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The /AnalyzeComponentStore fails every time with <strong>Error: 2</strong>. DISM /restorehealth still does not work.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried downloading and mounting the latest Windows 10 image ISO to extract the WIM file (for Windows 10 Pro) from the install.esd file. I have tried using the ESD file directly. The commands I use are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:C:\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
  DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:ESD:G:\sources\install.esd:6 /LimitAccess
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have even tried setting a group policy. <em>Nothing</em> seems to work. <strong>sfc /scannow</strong> returns no faults at all.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me solve this problem please? Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.</p>
