    DISM Source Not specified?


    Whenever i do sfc scan it says "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation". Then whenever i do dism health check it says to specify a source.

    I tried that also with both .esd and .wim file by specifuing it but still it is saying to specify the source file. How do i fix this!? DISM Source Not specified? f5e31d19-1779-47af-8d9e-7a6cb6742c44?upload=true.png

    Source to use for DISM on Windows 10


    This is not completely true. The suggestion is to download the Techbench version and use DISM to apply to install.wim directly. However, you can also use the version download from MCT except it will involve an extra step as follows:
    1. Use the latest version of 7-Zip to extract the content of install.esd. For example: to a folder xxx on the desktop
    2. From Admin command prompt:
      Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\xxx\windows /LimitAccess

    See screen shot, the contents of install.wim and install.esd are exactly the same.

    Can't get SFC and DISM to work anymore on Win10

    have you tried specifying the source for DISM? We have had a few computers at work give the unable to find source error on Online DISM

    Source to use for DISM on Windows 10


    hmm...

    I assumed they were the same all along so I tried simply COPYING the .esd AND the .wim out, and tried to use them but that didn't work either. Now that you mention EXTRACTING it out, that maybe makes more sense.

    I thought the .esd version was encrypted. Does 7-zip take care of that?
