When I'm executing this command: DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
Getting this error code:
Error: 87

The get-osuninstallwindow option is unknown.
For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Any idea why? I'm running CMD and Powershell with elevated window

Why don't I need to do that? Nothing is crashed and no BSOD screen apears.
Because you're in the BSOD Crash Analysis forum. This thread is misplaced.

To start troubleshooting the error logs can be collected.

The V2 log collector has a title as it is used primarily for BSOD troubleshooting.

The logs that it collects can be used to troubleshoot problems other than BSOD.


There is another log collector with the name LOGS PS1.

Most end users don't have any questions as they see LOGS.

We're currently modifying the script in this log collector and will have new scripts.

The command that you posted in the opening post worked.

Was there a typo when you ran it that was different than what you had posted in the opening post?

When I was copy-pasting the command in Terminal, then it gives the error. But when I manually typed the whole command it work without any error.
