Choose the right DISM operation
Open an elevated Command Prompt and use one operation at a time:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth- CheckHealth reports whether corruption was already flagged.
- ScanHealth performs a deeper component-store scan.
- RestoreHealth scans and attempts repair.
Recommended repair order
- Run RestoreHealth from an authorized elevated session.
- Wait for it to finish; do not interpret long pauses as an automatic failure.
- Run
sfc /scannowafterward. - Restart when the result or Windows maintenance requires it.
With Screensie
Command Center exposes DISM ScanHealth and RestoreHealth as confirmed, allow-listed actions with live progress, cancellation and returned results. Repair Windows runs RestoreHealth followed by SFC in the correct order.
