A few days ago I came across a peculiar problem.
Over the years I've used image health to scan and repair DISM as needed.
For years I have used this little CMD level free app image health 17.01.05
When I start up the image health.cmd it now suddenly opens endlessly sequentially runaway one CMD window after the other one with the following content:
The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\Image-Health>
I'm barely able to stop the runaway loop by pressing frantically several times ctrl-c.
I'm clueless as to what "specified file" it cannot find as all and everything is there.
So I tried it on my other computers and to my surprise got the same result!
One thing all computers have in common is that they all have been recently updated to 19045.4355
Since all work before, could it be that update did something?
I can live without that little app, but it's just convenient when you need it.
I have
attached zip file of the cmd app so you can try for yourself. I'm curious what you find. I'm puzzled as to what the cause could be.
Starting the image health.cmd should open a CMD window and showing you this menu below:
==========================================================================
Press 0 - EXIT PROGRAM and CREATE DISM REPORT

Press 14 - Generate a GenuineTicket.xml File
Press 15 - Enable or Disable Windows 10 GWX Upgrade ^> Never10
Press 16 - Download Media From TechBench
==========================================================================
PS: I just tried it in a virtual machine and to my surprise but as expected it works flawlessly.
so it's not what type of windows, I run the enterprise version, and what update I'm running on the latest .4355
real and virtual machines are all identical.
