[SOLVED] DISM Error: 0x800f0906

[Little_Micky_Fingers]

Good day to you all!
The SFC utility indicated that there were corrupted files which could not be fixed. Using an Elevated Command Prompt the following command was run:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The output from the above command reads as follows:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031

Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031

[==========================100.0%==========================]

Error: 0x800f0906

The source files could not be downloaded.
Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required t
o restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see
Configure a Windows Repair Source.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

This is the first time that DISM has finished with this error. I would be most grateful if someone could help me to find a solution to this problem. As an additional note I must say that I am surprised to find that the SFC utility finds corrupted files on an almost weekly occurrence and that DISM has proved to be a most useful utility.
Many thanks in advance for your attention in this matter.

Regards to you all.

Good day everybody!

I am replying to my original post to report that the issue described has been resolved although I am not sure as to how and why. My wife was experiencing the same problem on her own computer and out of interest ran the SFC utility which reported that no corruption was to be found. I immediately ran SFC which reported that there were corrupted files which could not be fixed.
Using an Elevated Command Prompt the following command was run:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

The command completed successfully.
Could someone pleasetell me how to show this thread as being solved and how to close it.

Regards
LMF

Hello and welcome to the forum

I am really sorry for the delay in getting to your help request, we have been flat out in the Windows Update forum with very little helpers.

I have marked this thread as solved for you :)
