Windows 10 How do I fix DISM Error 0x800f081f in WIndows 10 Pro (Version 10.0.18363.836)??????? HELP!!!

[MusicIncorporated]

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth is stopping at 89.5% or 89.6% (never at any other percentage) then kicks out Error 0x800f081f.


I tried using these commands in this exact order before the DISM RestoreHealth commands:

1. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

2. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore


DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:c:\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:c:\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess


DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:ESD:V:\sources\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess


All of these commands/operations stop at 89.5% or 89.6% (never at any other percentage) then kick out Error 0x800f081f. No matter what I do.



Before trying all of the above commands again, I tried this below in this exact order:



1. dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions to reset all pending tasks including Windows Updates.

2. Next, type in dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup to clean up the Component Store. The Component Store is used to support customizing and updating Windows.

3. Reboot into Safe Mode, open PowerShell as admin and run sfc /scannow.

4. Finally, reboot again to normal mode and type in dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and DISM should work correctly now.

I hit Powershell with dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and it kicked out:

Error: 0x800f081f​

The source files could not be found.

THIS BELOW MAY HELP SOMEONE, BUT I ONLY GOT IT TO "KIND OF" WORK FOR 1 COMMAND ON MY SYSTEM FOR WHATEVER REASON, I DON'T KNOW WHY.DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:c:\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess advanced to 100% 1 time only, but it kicked out the same:

Error: 0x800f081f​

The source files could not be found.
I tried these steps, but this time on step 4 I used:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:c:\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess


I then froze at 100% for awhile and then gave me:

Error: 0x800f081f​

The source files could not be found.

After this since it gave me an error I tried again, but never could get it to work. I have never been able to replicate this result.
