    Hello @lalajee ,

    Thanks for your query. Background Intelligent Transfer Service missing can be caused because of malware or virus infection which might have deleted BITS from your PC altogether.

    If the Dism command doesn’t work then try on the below:
    Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows /LimitAccess
    Note: Replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows with the location of your repair source (Windows Installation or Recovery Disc).

    If command Sfc /scannow fails then try this one: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows
    Wait for the above process to finish and once done restart your PC.

    Please check the following article for troubleshooting:

    Best regards,
