Been trying to do a repair install on win 10 using MCT iso. to no avail. Ran sfc scan (no integrity violations). Ran all DISM commands( source file cannot be found and DISM will not fix) Inclosed is CBS and DISM los. Any help would be appreciated. I just really want to do a repair install only if I can
Could you tell me what you want to fix if no errors were detected based on the log files. And one more question - why do you have such a large CBS.log file of 13.5MB - that's the whole biography since February 11th. Tell about Your problem what You want fix. And also tell how You wanted use local file/source if using DISM. Write command, what You used and where the source file located.
That looks like 20H2 .685 - a 2020 build, with missing components (defender being incapacitated at least). Probably hopeless for repair. But since I've just done an "upgrade" on a hacked to pieces 2009 build that I had no hope left for, using the MCT-made 20H2 (.631): - first, try to change product key to the generic education one YNMGQ 8RYV3 4PGQ3 C8XTP 7CFBY - second, mount the MCT 20H2 iso, copy the files on your hdd (if it's already made on a usb stick, disregard this step) - third, open the sources folder and create a new file PleaseRepairMyInstall.bat with: Code: ;@start "w" setupprep.exe /ConfigFile "%~f0" &exit/b [Setupconfig] SelfHost CompactOS=Disable Compat=IgnoreWarning DynamicUpdate=Disable MigrateDrivers=All ResizeRecoveryPartition=Disable ShowOOBE=None Telemetry=Disable Eula=Accept MigChoice=Upgrade Auto=Upgrade Action=UpgradeNow - fourth, run the batch file above Setup should start automatically and you should not need to do anything until you're back at the desktop several minutes later, but it highly depends on how broken your installation is. Worth a final shot before having to clean install by booting from the setup media.
My problems are three-fold. 1. Windows update error -driver better then the one trying to install. Do not know what driver it is..2 Turn windows features on and off blank. As far as the source file. I receive that message when trying to use dism to restore health.( source file cannot be found ) I tried to use the source file in my mounted windows .iso . My tech knowledge is limited as it shows on how to explain this.#. Every time I try to repair install win 10 ,It goes through the motions with no rebooting and the (windows installation failed comes up). I have my .iso mounted on a usb drive and also tried it mounted on my C drive. to no avail. My win version is 20H2 Build 19042.685. I installed March update and it did not change the version to .687 like I thought it was suppose to. As far as Defender goes I never have used it. I use Panda My Defender is turned off.
I removed Panda Dome AV yesterday and enabled Windows defender AV and firewall and is working fine In windows update it downloaded the latest definitions. At the same time it shows that it miss important security and quality fixes.Also KB5000802 and KB4023057 were installed for March, at the same time it shows that Widows update also shows no updates installed for Jan and Feb 2021 except for for Malicious Software Removal Tool for Jan,Feb,March. But also the (driver update problem continues to exist.(the current driver installed is better then the one trying to install). Also If BAU sees this post if I try what you posted in your reply and it doesn't work will my current state be ok ? Also what if I cannot apply the Education key should I still try it ,and if I did will I be able to put the original back?
@jakeeboy You did not say what edition you have home/pro/enterprise..? The step to change product key is not required for Home/Pro edition since default MCT creates ISO with Home + Pro + Education editions. Just try out the batch file with the troubleshooting arguments for setup, it should work fine, or not apply any changes - it won't break your install more than it is.
I have windows 10 Home 20H2 build 19042.685. I tried to put the .bat file in the sources folder that's in the .iso but it says I need 2 kb of space.
if the files are on a usb stick it should be writable, and there should be more space on it (could delete setup.exe from outside sources folder to make space) if not, and all you did was to double click the iso file, then that's not writable. in this case, maybe this script variant would be better: Code: ;@echo off ;for %%/ in (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do ( ;if exist %%/:\x64\sources\setupprep.exe set "SETUP=%%/:\x64\sources\setupprep.exe" ;if exist %%/:\sources\setupprep.exe set "SETUP=%%/:\sources\setupprep.exe" ;) ;if exist "%~dp0setupprep.exe" set "SETUP=%~dp0setupprep.exe" ;@start "w" "%SETUP%" /ConfigFile "%~f0" &exit/b [Setupconfig] SelfHost CompactOS=Disable Compat=IgnoreWarning DynamicUpdate=Disable MigrateDrivers=All ResizeRecoveryPartition=Disable ShowOOBE=None Telemetry=Disable Eula=Accept MigChoice=Upgrade Auto=Upgrade Action=UpgradeNow can save it in the sources folder as instructed the first time, or anywhere if you just mounted the .iso by double-clicking it
