[SOLVED] SFC Corupt files found and DISM error on windows 10 fresh install

[drunknmstr]

I recently reinstalled windows 10 with a fresh install.

I have done this about 4 times now and ever time sfc /scannow finds corrupt files but is unable to fix them.

also when I try and run DISM I get error 0x800f081f

I have tried just about every fix I can find here but nothing seams to work.

When I try and run windows update that also fails.

I have nothing installed just the base windows 10.

Hi drunknmstr. :welcome:

(Are you Jackie? :hug:)

Did you run the command when connected to internet on when not connected?
If the second, try when there is a connection.

Hey xilolee,

(I wish I was ha :grin1:)

to answer you question yes I have tried while connected to the internet. I don't have any antivirus installed right now I'm waiting to install any thing until this is fixed.

Did you also restart your PC and re-try? In the meanwhile windows experts look at your logs, I think you could try it (if you didn't already do it).
Did you change windows firewall default settings? Or are you using another (third party) firewall?

If you don't get an answer in two days, post a message in https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/6903-not-received-help.html.

I have tried to restart the pc it is currently stuck in a loop were it will try to scan and repair the drive on boot it will get to 68% every time then just restart again its been doing this for 30 minutes straight. every few reboots it will say there is a disk read error and tell me to press ctrl+alt+del after I do it will just go back into the same loop.

So after a few days of working on this problem I have finally found the solution.

Get corrupted files on clean install W10, error 0x800f081f - Microsoft Community

this was the only thing that fixed my corrupt files. it seams that the windows 10 .iso doesn't have a wim file in the source directory but there is a program that will convert the .esd file to .wim and mount the source path so that you can properly repair your install. its all listed in his post I will paste it bellow just so that it is in more than one place.

A long story short, the fix was to download NTLite (https://www.ntlite.com/download/ ). There is a free version which is all you need for this operation. It does take a few minutes to download.
Start up the program and point it to where your image is. I had downloaded the Windows ISO to my USB drive fromhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench, so I right clicked on the ISO file, and selected “Mount”.

I copied the resulting virtual drive to my hdd in a separate folder. I looked at the \sources subdirectory and verified it had the install.esd file.

I then opened NTLite, pointed it to the hdd directory, and used NTLite to convert from ESD to WIM. This took quite a bit (more than 20 minutes, I went off to do something else so I didn’t time it). (You may be able to do this directly in the virtual drive, but I did not test it.)

In administrative command prompt entered:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:{filepath, in my case C:\w10march}\sources\install.wim: /limit access

Success! The repair was completed.

I verified by

In administrative command prompt entering:
Sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Rebooted the machine and re-verified all ok.

the only thing that I would add is that when running the dism command you should use

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:{filepath, in my case C:\w10march}\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess

instead of

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:{filepath, in my case C:\w10march}\sources\install.wim: /limit access

there should not be a space between '/limit access' the should be a 1 after /source:WIM:{filepath, in my case C:\w10march}\sources\install.wim:

I really hope this helps some one else because this was the only thing that helped me and I tried every thing that google would give me.
