Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• 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.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Hi Maxstar,

Thanks for the reply.
applied file,
ran dism
Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found.

Can that be fixed?

Hi,

Please attach the latest CBS logs, the DISM log is not very helpful.

Upload a copy of the CBS folder

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
• Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply. If the file is too large to attach, upload the CBS.zip file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi Maxstar,
dism completed with no error!

KB033052 and KB5027537 also installed successfully.
Installed 22H2.

Thanks again!

Hi,

You're welcome, but KB5027537 is an update from June last year for .NET Framework. Please run Windows Update again to see which updates are available and install them. It seems this system is not fully up-to-date.

 

[taxi01]

Updating. Missing quite a few updates. Seems to be failing with "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)" Attempting to download/install KB5034441 n failing with that.
SSD has 17GB space left. Looks like i hv to resize my recovery partition. (from KB5034441: Windows Recovery Environment update for Windows 10, version 21H2 and 22H2: January 9, 2024 - Microsoft Support)

 

[Maxstar]

Yes for KB5034441 you'll need to resize the WinRE partition using these instructions: KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update - Microsoft Support

Ok, installed KB5034441 successfully. no pending windows update. thanks heaps again. I'll be enabling tpm in bios soon to upgrade it to win11. :)

Hi,

You're welcome. Glad to hear the system is up-to-date now and good luck with the upgrade to Windows 11.
I will mark this thread as solved.
