Thanks again

Hi,

Nice, we are over halfway through..

Step 1.
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.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Hello again

Same DISM percent this time, 53,1%, but it seems that it's a different file, with a 605 error.

The new screen capture, SFCFix log and CBS log are attached.

Thank you very much

Hi,

It seems that there are a lot of RTM files missing/corrupt, maybe we make more progress if we run DISM with the Windows ISO's.

1. Download the Windows 10 ISO (with the Spanish language pack) - https://software.download.prss.micr...7c8eb3f945cf2c31ff4ae1f0105b8cc7a6a8b65ee3a14
2. Download the Windows 10 ISO (with the English language pack) - https://software.download.prss.micr...8cfffadb9d561a9e61e6b1608f95670b35c7ade264250
3. Mount the ISO's one at a time and run the following DISM command twice with both ISO's. (Replace X with correct driveletter).

Rich (BB code):

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

Hello again...

I'm sorry, it has been holydays in Spain, so I have not been home until today. I've tried to download the ISO files, but they show a "403 Forbidden" page... Maybe the links have expired...?

Sorry for not being able to download them before...

Maxstar · Jul 27, 2022

Hi,

Yes these links will expire, here are the new ones.
1. Download the Windows 10 ISO (with the Spanish language pack) - https://software.download.prss.micr...85b57ea8fcb924acab05283129447ccf611a011e2fe3b
2. Download the Windows 10 ISO (with the English language pack) - https://software.download.prss.micr...20f3e4e2004815711bb367bc1a6724bac6fd9bf99df5c

Hello, sorry for taking that long this time...

I downloaded the ISO images, mounted each one and ran the DISM command using the image as source.

DISM seems to fail at the same percentage (53,1%) and error 605 after running DISM with the spanish image, and then it fails at a lower percentage (52,8% ??) after running DISM with the english image.

I have attached screen captures and CBS logs. The ones with filenames ending with 1 are from the first try with Spanish image, the ones with 2 are from the second try with the English image. I have attached the DISM logs too, just in case you may need them too.

On my first try, I ran DISM with a wrong commandline, and took me a bit of time to guess what was wrong, it was just a typing error... Hope I did right on the attached tries to run DISM.

Thank you

Hi,

It is a pity that this did not work out as I expected, here is the next fix to replace the corrupted file.

Step 1.
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.

Code:

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Thank you very much anyway for trying the repair using the install ISOs

I forogot to take the screenshot with the DISM results... Can you see the result on the CBS.log or should I run DISM again to get a new screenshot?

I think I'm getting an idea about how these repairs work... By reading the CBS.log, it seems the corruptted/missing file now is "C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft.powershell.archive_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.1_none_d8487a52e789726c\Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive.psm1". Is that correct? (

). Being PowerShell one of the components that can be enabled or disabled in the Control Panel, can I try to remove it, reeboot and enable it again? (if it redownloads the required files from Windows Update, maybe it repairs the corrupted/missing ones?). Anyway, how do you get the right files to replace the corrupted ones is still beyond me...

Thanks a lot

Hi,

A new screenshot is not necessary, but for the next fix you can copy and paste the result of DISM from the command prompt to your next post.

Yes, this file is corrupt. But don't remove anything or perform other fixes. I am using several virtual machines to get the replacement files..

Ok.

This time DISM failed at 53,7%, but showed a new error: "Error 1392. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

The screen capture, SFCFix log and CBS log are attached.

Thank you very much

Hello again

Another little step forward, it's at 54% now.

New files attached, thank you

Hi again, sorry for the delay...

Still at 54%, error 4448, but different file. Now it seems to be a PowerShell script file... So it not only flags corrupted essential files, but every file on a Windows installation, isn't it?

The usual files are attached.

Thanks again
