Fix Windows Update Errors using DISM tool
If none of other Windows Update troubleshooting methods resolve your issues or you’ve accidentally deleted some files from the WinSxS folder, don’t give up so easily – there’s still one more way that may fix your problems in no time – the Windows Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool! I’ll show you how to apply and perform all steps to fix WU errors.
RUNNING BASIC DISM TOOL COMMANDS
1. Open Start.
2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
3. Type the following command: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
4. You would use /CheckHealth to only check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted by a failed process and whether the corruption can be repaired. This is just a quick way to see if corruption currently exists and to inform you if there is corruption. This does not fix anything or create a log. This will finish running almost instantly.
5.. Then, type in this command: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
6. You would use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption. This option does not fix any corruption. It only checks for component store corruption and records that corruption to the log file. This can take around 5-10 minutes to finish. It will stay at 20% for a while before continuing.
7. To resolve component store corruption, use this command: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
8. You would use /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, perform repair operations automatically, and record that corruption to the log file. This can take around 10-15 minutes up to a few hours to finish depending on the level of corruption. It might stay at 20% for a while before continuing.
9. Lastly, reboot your system.
CLEANING UP WINDOWS COMPONENT STORE (WINSXS)
1. Open Start.
2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
3. Type the following command: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
4. Using the /StartComponentCleanup parameter of Dism.exe on a running version of Windows 8.1 gives you similar results to running the StartComponentCleanup task in OPTION ONE above, except previous versions of updated components will be immediately deleted (without a 30 day grace period) and you will not have a 1-hour timeout limitation.
5. Next, use this command: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
6. Using the /ResetBase switch with the /StartComponentCleanup parameter of DISM.exe on a running of Windows OS removes all superseded (outdated) versions of every component in the component store.
WARNING: All existing service packs and updates cannot be uninstalled after this command is completed. This option will not block the uninstallation of future service packs or updates installed.
7. OPTIONAL: You can use Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /SPSuperseded command but be careful as you won’t be able to uninstall service pack after this command is completed.
IMPORTANT: The above command is used to reduce the amount of space used by a Service Pack. It removes any backup components needed for the uninstallation of the service pack. A service pack is a collection of cumulative updates for a particular release of Windows.
8. Additionally, you can use Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore command to analyze the content and size of the Windows Component Store (WinSxS).
9. Finally, restart your computer.
Hopefully, some of these methods will fix your Windows Update errors.
