Can't repair install with dism. The repair content cound not be dound anywhere

Having trouble installing latest update to Windows 11, and having "repair install" fail (in SAFE_OS with BOOT)
I tried using "DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to fix the install, but it fails too :-(

Fails with the error "0x800f0915" and "The repair content could not be found anywhere".

I also tried using an "install.esd" (made a brand new install USB) as /source but got the same error.

I checked the versions in the log and found these values:

"Target image" version jumped up to 10.0.26200,9168 (from 26100.8973 before I install security update)
"Image session" version still is at 10.0.26100.8972 (did not update at all even when updating).

Read in another thread that the image version must be higher than the target version.
But how do I update this. The last security update only bumped the "target" version.

As said ealier repair install won't work, fail at "SAFE_OS and BOOT". So I'm really stuck :-(
(why does this happend on nearly all big updates, it's really annoying)

To fix the "source files could not be found" DISM error (Error 0x800f081f), you need to provide the command with a working repair source, such as a mounted Windows installation ISO file.

Download the official Windows ISO file matching your exact operating system version.

Right-click the downloaded ISO file in File Explorer and select Mount.

Note the new drive letter assigned to the mounted drive.


Open Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

Run this command to see the available image indexes, replacing X with your mounted drive letter:


Note the index number (#) that matches your specific edition of Windows (such as Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Home).

Run the repair command with your custom source and limit access to Windows Update, replacing X with the drive letter and # with your index number:


After DISM completes successfully, type the following command and press Enter:


Restart your computer once the scan finished.
