DISM and SFC scans are returning this error along with other issues occuring like net not being accessed correctly by all apps and windows update service maybe being faulty.
I have tried everything to resolve it but "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" gets stuck at 62.3% and later after waiting gets to 100% and just returns the same error each time.
After some time:
I have tried giving it source from separate install.wim file with the correct path and command but the error persists where it says it cant find the source files.

Share log files using the Feedback Hub app In case clean install of Windows didn't fix the problem, then there is issue with the Windows installation file. Do not use any third-party tool and only use Windows Media Creation tool to create Windows installation.
Thank you or your response, It would be helpful if you can guide me as to how I can share the log files using the Feedback Hub app properly. And regarding the installation file, I downloaded it from official Microsoft Site and also downloaded the ISO from the same for which I rechecked the hash too after download and everything was in order.
Are you creating USB or DVD?
When you file a bug report, it automatically collect logs , however if you have additional logs, there is an option to upload attachment which you may submit log files.
I am using a USB for the clean install, made using the media creation tool.
Thank you for the clarification, also try run Disk Check on the drive which Windows has been installed.
I have ran it many times and they return all OK or that no bad sectors were found.
Are you using SSD or HDD hard disk? Fresh install of the Windows from a trusted source shouldn't show any issue. It could be related to the hardware.

Hello “even have clean installed windows 11 using media creation tool and a flash drive.” Have you performed a clean installation with the new downloaded iso? If the issue persists after we performed a clean installation (format the drive), we may consider to replace the disk. The disk may have been corrupted. As a result, the installed windows files will be corrupted.
