No, DISM and SFC can't always fix messed-up files in Windows.
No, DISM and SFC can't always fix messed-up files in Windows.
I switched out my old RAM, but now my computer is super slow and my audio keeps cutting out or glitching. I tried running SFC first, which told me my files are corrupt so it can't fix them. Then I ran DISM but I got an error about the system not finding a path. Even though I ran it again with just restorehealth, the same thing happened. The program was still stuck at 53% and the error code was 3 because the computer didn't know where to find the files. I'm really confused now and want to fix this without resetting my PC since that's such a pain because all my games need reinstalling. Please help me solve this without losing everything. 🙁 Here is a link to the DISM log file so you can check what happened.
Welcome to the forums! Since it's so hard to reinstall all my games, if you are using Steam, just assign a drive as your game library. After you restart your computer, go into settings and tell the launcher where that drive is. A problem started when I changed out my old RAM. If you can't figure it out, try swapping back to the older RAM kit. Maybe you should check if your BIOS is up-to-date and clear your CMOS after making sure your BIOS is current.
I ran a memory check on my old sticks and it flagged a hardware problem, but the new ones didn't show any issues. I tried switching them back anyway, though the error kept coming up, so I switched to the new RAM now. I cleared my CMOS every single time and made sure my BIOS was updated. When it comes to Steam, my other drive is an HDD, so moving all those files around takes forever.
error 3 might just be spacing issues. DISM checks are very strict; did you actually mount the ISO? Your command line seems to be missing something: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess. You need to replace X with the correct drive letter where your ISO is saved. If you had bad RAM before, files might have gotten corrupted, causing these problems. If you installed Windows 11 with version 22H2, you could try a repair install instead. Unfortunately, the current ISO on the win 11 site is now based on 23H2 (which should be correct), so I can't provide that one for you. It was just bad timing.
Here is the fix for error 3: https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/...f081f.html
I had the ISO attached when first starting, but every reboot wipes out that virtual disk thing. Will a repair install mess with anything? If it does, do all my options need to be checked before I go crazy? My last two attempts (the full path and just "restorehealth") didn't work either.
The log message says 0x80070003. Have you tried running the Windows Update troubleshooter? I keep getting that as an answer. These steps might help = https://www.tenforums.com/windows-u...00...t-fix.html What you need to do is a repair install. Even though this page shows 23H2 as the version of the files, I have been told the second link gives you 22H2. - https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 Download media creation tool create a USB using it follow these steps - https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-ins...grade.418/ If the iso you got was actually 23H2 like Microsoft says (and they didn't mess up), you could use the USB to update to 23H2 and since it replaces Windows, it might fix the problem
I tried fixing this problem before but it always says no to the new version. I'm going to test 23H2 now and check back later with you.
You probably want to make a USB drive on a computer that doesn't have problems, just like you might want to run this on a USB stick and see which version it makes now. Here is the link: https://www.howtogeek.com/362502/ho...rs...usb-drive/. If the header is correct, it should say 23H2. But I have been told it might still be 22H2 if it says 22H2, so do a repair install. If it says 23H2, try to upgrade using a USB drive. Once you create it, put the drive into a PC that isn't working right. Open file explorer and go to USB, then run setup. Follow the process, and it should offer to update your current PC.
