Currently on Version 22H2 22621.2283 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22662.1000.0
When I tried running the surt/dism I simply got error 163.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Chalksy,

Welcome to Sysnative Forums!

If you haven't already, please review the posting instructions here, and attach the requested log files. Without log files, our helpers will not be able to assist, and this will slow down fixing your machine.

If logs have been already been provided, our team of volunteers will analyse the provided log files to build a fix for your system. Please be aware that this may take several days from your initial post, due to the high volume of threads that we receive.

Noting that the staff requested this in other threads , I'll upload the components file here as well to save time.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Please run the following DISM command again and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.
Code:
DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Rich (BB code):
Delete::
Failed to delete all files and folders matching pattern C:\WINDOWS\servicing\version\10.0.22621.2423 with result code 2.

That's right because the previous fix failed, so please do the following.

The DISM went to 100% but I ended up with Error: 0x800f081f claiming the source files could not be found.
Hopeful since at least it's progress.
