Repair MSFT Windows Operating System

Note: When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a running Windows installation as the repair source, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess Note: Replace the C:\RepairSource\Windows placeholder with the location of your repair source.

Section 2331 of Title 18 is renumbered to 18 US...
