[SOLVED] Not working Win10 updates and Dism

[RomanZ]

Hi,
I found you have some tricks to solve issues with CBS. I tried the official SFCfix.exe but it did not help.
The problem started after I got two(!) KB5001716 2023-10-15 - the kB were dated 2024-10 and 2024-05.
I see that cbs.dll in .3562. is unsigned, while in previous .3502. was signed by MS. Don't know if it's significant.

When I run
dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth (with or without /source:,,,)
it fails immediately (in CBS.log):

2024-10-20 12:45:53, Info CBS Failed to load Core DLL from path: C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.3562_none_7e0523f67c93b82a\\cbscore.dll [HRESULT = 0x800700c1 - ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT]

I tried various tricks without success, e.g
Windows Updates Fail and cause Corruption in the CBS log. How to Repair and Analyze | Dell US it always ends up with a similar error.
Also the last solution reinstall of windows with keeping files and apps fails due to CBS.

Any clue what's broken and how to fix it?

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Please do the following first.

• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

Thanks, it works fine now. You are my hero!
