[SOLVED] DISM error 2

[tnarduzzi]

Hi everyone,

Posting because I cannot fix this on my own.

I am running Win11 24H2 and keep getting error 2 every time I run DISM. I am worried the machine has a system corruption and patches can fail.

I have attached the logs requested in the posting instructions provided by the auto bot.

Thank you!

To follow up:

I seemed to have fixed this error and now have a clean dism result. I did this:

1. Reinstalled Win11 24H2 Enterprise on top of itself via mounting the ISO, running setup.exe, and just clicking through all the steps to reinstall while keeping documents and apps.
2. Once rebooted (regular startup not safemode) waited for all post reinstall to finish after log in and then ran the following commands in this order.
3. dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup --> issues found and repaired iirc
4. dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth --> issues found and repaired iirc
5. sfc /scannow --> issues found and repaired iirc
6. Rebooted
7. Installed all pending updates.
8. Ran all three commands again, all 3 passed with clean result, no issues detected.
