[SOLVED] DISM /ScanHealth file not found stopping windows update

WOW!! I don't believe it but it appears that this last fix did it!!

After the fix, the /RestoreHealth made it all the way through.

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.18362.1
Image Version: 10.0.18363.719
[==========================100.0%==========================] The restore operation completed successfully.
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.18362.1

    Backups and Disabled Features : 2.95 GB
    Cache and Temporary Data :  0 bytes
Date of Last Cleanup : 2020-05-08 07:26:44
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 4
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.18362.1
Image Version: 10.0.18363.719
[===========                20.0%                          ]
The operation completed successfully.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I was then able to go back to Windows Update and install the last couple of Updates that have not been completing. I then went back and tried doing some more /AnalyzeComponentStore and /StartComponentCleanup. It's a bit odd that doing a cleanup sometimes causes the Analyze to reduce the "Number of Reclaimable Packages" and sometime not. But just doing these a couple of time I've gotten this down and reclaimed over 2GB:

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\system32> Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
