Anyone encounter this issue before? tried the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command return error as below

Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found. Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

Any suggestion how to solve this? should i mount an OS image and retry same command that point source from the image?

    Hello Alan Chen3,

    this error usually means that your system is missing some necessary files that prevent the update from being completed.

    You can try to resolve it by specifying the source location:

    1. Open the Command Prompt (administrator privileges).
    2. Enter the following command and press Enter: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth /Source:C:RepairSourceWindows /LimitAccess

    Note that replace "C:RepairSourceWindows" with the path of your Windows installation media. For more details, you can see Configure a Windows Repair Source | Microsoft Learn.

    1. Wait for the command to complete, which may take some time.

    Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
