[SOLVED] Windows Update and Dism Error (0x800f081f)

PeterJ · Apr 20, 2023

For some reason the dism command cannot download from Windows Update.

Download

Farbar Service Scanner and save the file on your Desktop.
Right-click FSS and select "Run as administrator".
Put checkmarks at following items only:

Internet Services
Windows Firewall
System Restore
Security Center/Action Center
Windows Update
Windows Defender

Click Scan.
A log file called "FSS.TXT" will appear on your desktop when the scan is finished.
Attach this file to your next reply.

Here it is.

Observation: I use Kaspersky Antivirus. May be the reason Windows Defender is disabled.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

No integrity violations. \o/

PeterJ · Apr 21, 2023

Great.
Run the command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth again in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.

mathphilip · Apr 21, 2023

Worked!

PeterJ · Apr 22, 2023

Great. Any remaining issues ?

mathphilip · Apr 22, 2023

It's all good, Peter! Once again, thank you very much for your help. All the best to you!

PeterJ · Apr 22, 2023

Your welcome.

Take care.

[Update] I was able to fix the initial issue (slow Windows startup) by disabling the "fast startup" feature in the power settings (which is ironic

).
Apparently there was a problem with the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys).

Just a possible solution for those who are experiencing the same problem and find this thread.
