    Glad to hear it completed and that SFC didn’t find any issues!

    The slight increase in system file size is normal, DISM might have replaced or added some components during the repair process. Over time, Windows will usually clean up unnecessary files automatically, especially after updates or maintenance tasks.

    As for the system reserved files, they can vary depending on updates, system usage, and restore points, but it’s usually nothing to worry about.

    For one-click cleaning of system files, logs, and other optimizations, you can also try Microsoft PC Manager https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/en-us It’s an official tool that helps free up space and keep your system running smoothly.

    I am glad that worked. If you don't have any more questions, if you'd like, you can click "Yes" below the response that provided the helpful solution. This way, any users who come across this thread with similar issues will find the steps and benefit as well. Thank you!

    That makes sense! Running a health check every now and then is a great way to keep your system in good shape, even if you’re not a tech expert.

    As for the DISM command stopping at 62.3%, it’s normal for it to seem stuck at certain points, especially around 60–70%. It’s still working in the background, so I’d recommend waiting at least 10–15 minutes to see if it progresses. In some cases, it might take even longer, depending on your system's speed.

    If it still doesn’t move after a while, you can try running the command again after restarting your PC. Let me know how it goes!

    Update.

    Running the command you suggested has it stop at 62.3%. How long should I wait?

    I'm just doing usual health check on my PC.

    I haven't had one for long and I'm no tech expert either, so I'm just doing what I can to make sure my system is okay.

    Hi! I'm John!

    I understand your concern, it's definitely confusing when DISM says "operation completed successfully" but stops at 70%. The good thing is that this doesn't necessarily mean there's an issue.

    Since running RestoreHealth didn’t seem to change anything, let’s try a couple of extra steps to make sure everything is in good shape:

    Run DISM Again – Open Command Prompt as administrator and run:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    This runs both cleanup and repair together, ensuring any corruption is addressed.

    Run SFC – After that, run:

    sfc /scannow

    This will check for and repair any remaining corrupted system files.

    Also, if there are any pending updates, install them, as they can sometimes resolve system integrity issues.

    May I know why you're running these commands? Are you facing any specific problems with your system?

    Any additional information you can provide will be helpful in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
