Hi,
I've been having this problem with my Windows 10 Pro dual-boot (need another OS for work purposes) computer that started small and has now gotten huge.
First thing I noticed was that I couldn't hibernate. Everytime I tried, the screen only locked.
Then I tried System Settings. All it does is pop up for a nanosecond, then poof, it's gone.
I thought maybe I ran into a persistent bug, so I try Windows Update. Searched for Windows Update in the Start Menu and clicked on it. It acted just like System Settings above.
So I thought of refreshing the OS. Apparently, that uses System Settings too.
I decided to download a new ISO from the Media Creation Tool, run setup, and save my files and settings. When I got to that screen, those options were grey-ed out and all that was available was to do a full wipe. At the bottom was a message that said something like "You can't keep Windows settings, personal files, and apps because your current version might be installed in an unsupported directory."
At my wit's end, I tried to run:
Code:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
That failed with the message:
Code:
Error: 1726
The remote procedure call failed.
I've attached the dism.log and cbs.log files that were generated from the command.
I'm out of options here. Suggestions?
