I'm executing the command

DISM /Image:E:\WIM\Mount /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
on an offline mounted WIM Image.

I'm facing this error:

Error: 0x800f0806

The operation could not be completed due to pending operations.
I've tried

sfc /scannow
deleted C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml
Started another DISM.exe session
Cleared Registry keys
Mounted to different location (Mount & Re-Mount)
ADK version: 10.1.19041.1

How to resolve this issue?

    If you enable .NET 3.5 feature, or add some updates that trigger "Install pending", you cannot perform Cleanup-Image offline

    FYI, ResetBase is disabled by default for Windows 10 / Server 2016 and has no affect

    Hi,
    The error 0x800f0806 indicates “the operation could not be complete due to locked resources”
    Please try that above procedure again in a Clean Boot environment:

    If it does not work, also perform a SFC: sfc /scannow

    Best regards.
