An Azure service to centrally manages updates and compliance at scale.
Error 0x8007000D (ERROR_INVALID_DATA) together with sfc /scannow reporting unrepaired corruption and a CBS entry like hash mismatch for opencl.dll indicates servicing/component store corruption that DISM and SFC can’t fix from the usual sources.
For an Azure Windows Server 2022 Datacenter VM in this state, the supported remediation path in context is:
- Treat this as a Windows Update/component store corruption issue
- 0x8007000D is explicitly called out as a common corruption error related to invalid data or corrupted Windows Update metadata.
-
sfcbeing unable to repair and DISM/RestoreHealthfailing confirms deeper CBS/component store issues.
- Use DISM correctly with a matching repair source (if still attempting repair)
- Run from an elevated Command Prompt:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - If the VM cannot reach Windows Update or that fails, use a repair source from a machine or image with the exact same OS build (Windows Server 2022, same build 20348.x):
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:\\<servername>\c$\Windows /LimitAccess - The repair source system must be the same OS version and build. After DISM completes successfully, run:
sfc /scannow - If DISM still cannot repair and CBS.log continues to show corruption for
opencl.dll, the corruption is considered not repairable by standard DISM.
- Run from an elevated Command Prompt:
- When DISM/SFC cannot repair: plan an in-place upgrade
- For persistent 0x8007000D and component store corruption on Azure VMs, the documented resolution is an in-place upgrade of the OS on the affected VM.
- This is the recommended and “most reliable” way to fix invalid data/corruption issues that block updates when servicing tools cannot repair the store.
- For Azure VMs, follow the in-place upgrade guidance for Windows Server VMs. This keeps data and most settings while reinstalling the OS components and replacing corrupted system files such as
opencl.dll.
- If in-place upgrade is not immediately possible
- Because this is a production VM, ensure there is a current backup or snapshot of the OS disk before attempting any in-place upgrade or further repair.
- If the issue persists even after following the in-place upgrade guidance, open a support case and include the relevant CBS.log snippets showing the
hash mismatchand 0x8007000D entries.
There is no supported manual “single-file” replacement path for opencl.dll in the provided context; the supported options are DISM with a correct source or an in-place upgrade when DISM cannot repair.
