    Okay, I have been losing my hair over this and would appreciate some help if possible. My issue is that the scannow command will always find errors when I run it if I update windows to 10586.3 (from a clean install of 10586). I am not sure if that has something to do with DISM using image 10.0.10586.0. Should that not be 10.0.10586.3?

    Anyways, running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth tells me its repairable. However, I am having issues making it use the source file (install.esd) to do so. aka "source files could not be found"
    I have used the following commands with zero luck;

    This while trying to use my usb install drive with drive letter J:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:J:\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess

    These with the install.esd file copied to my c drive.
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:C:\install.esd:1
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:C:\install.esd:1 /limitaccess

    Any ideas? Does sfc even fail for you guys?

    Tried just the online fix?

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Yup, gives me "source files cannot be found" which is why I am trying to specify the source file.

    Mount the .WIM from an ISO first, and use the commands here

    Use the /RestoreHealth argument to repair the image. For example, to repair an offline image using a mounted image as a repair source, at a command prompt, type the following command:

    Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows

    Or to repair an online image using some of your own sources instead of Windows Update, type:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows /LimitAccess

    Source

    Mount .WIM

    Man, I just did a freakin clean install and its the freakin same. WTF! I don't understand what is going on. All I do in an offline install, install chipset, mei and NVidia drivers. I then reconnect to the web and run updates, with one always failing (Samsung printer driver 3) and the two that install are the .3 update (KB3105211) and flash (KB3103688).
    Nothing wrong with pc and original windows 10 passes sfc and so does win 8.1
    Does it pass the scan on yours?

    Edit- this is also a brand new usb stick with a newly made installation

    If it's not having any effect on the system I wouldn't worry about it.

    10 RTM did the same after a clean install, I run LTSB so I don't get this update, and mine passes fine

    Don't worry about it unless something is broken

    Yeah I've wasted enough time with this heap of an os. Everything works fine and nothing in event logs so screw it. Many thanks for all the help

    Most likely your install.esd is corrupt - it happened to me with 10586.0, I checked the hashes and they were different.

    I fixed it by re-downloading the install.esd, checking the hashes are correct and then using ESD Decrypter to turn it back into an install.wim so that DISM would see the source file.

    I then copied the install.wim to a folder on C drive called wim and ran the dism commmand;

    Code:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:C:\wim\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
    I then ran sfc /scannow and it came up clean.

    I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft, mounted it, adjusted the location and used the command above and it worked fine.

    Code:
    [==========================100.0%==========================]
    The restore operation completed successfully.
    The operation completed successfully.
    Thanks! :)

    Download the required ISO from Microsoft. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench

    Mount it within Windows.

    Run command prompt (Admin) and enter Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:M:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess change "M" to the drive letter that was assigned to the mounted ISO.

    You should make a separate thread for this, and request it to be stickied
