Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration
Important
Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices were set to expire starting in June 2026. Microsoft has been updating these certificates on PCs and non-managed business devices for the past months. Devices that haven’t received the newer certificates will continue to start, and standard Windows updates will continue to install. We will continue to install the newer certificates via Windows updates in the coming months.

End of updates
Windows 11, version 24H2 Home and Pro editions will reach end of updates on October 13, 2026. Devices running these editions will no longer receive fixes for known issues, time zone updates, technical support, or monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats. Enterprise and Education editions remain supported until October 12, 2027.

To stay protected and up to date, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11.

Here is what Co-Pilot told me about the DISM issues so many are having:

Short answer: Recent Windows 11 25H2 builds (26200‑series and 26100‑series servicing stacks) are seeing widespread DISM /RestoreHealth failures because Microsoft’s component store servicing pipeline is currently fragmented across multiple build trains, causing version mismatches, missing repair payloads, and SSU/CU desynchronization. This is happening at scale, across OEM devices, Insider rings, and even clean installs — which is why it has become a hot topic.


The core reason:​

Across many reports, the DISM logs show:

  • DISM tool version: 10.0.26100.x
  • Image version: 10.0.26200.x
  • Servicing Stack version: often stuck on an older 26100.x SSU
When the SSU (Servicing Stack Update) is older than the OS build, DISM cannot interpret the component store metadata of the newer build. This produces:

  • 0x800f0915 – “repair content could not be found anywhere”
  • 0x800f081f – source files not found
This mismatch is now extremely common because Microsoft is pushing rapid cumulative updates to 25H2 while the SSU pipeline lags behind.


Why it’s suddenly widespread (the “hot topic” part)​

1.​

Windows 11 25H2 is being serviced by:

  • 26100‑series SSUs
  • 26200‑series CUs
  • Feature Experience Packs with their own versioning
This creates a scenario where:


DISM depends on the SSU. When the SSU is behind, DISM breaks.


2.​

Multiple reports show DISM failing even with a stable internet connection because:


This forces users to rely on ISO repair sources — but Microsoft has not yet published matching ISOs for every 26200.x cumulative update.


3.​

Users report:

  • DISM jumps from 64% → 100% → error
  • SFC reports no integrity violations
  • Windows Update fails with 0x80073712
This indicates metadata corruption, not file corruption — exactly the type of issue DISM cannot fix without a matching SSU.


4.​

Microsoft acknowledged a RestoreHealth regression in mid‑2026 and patched it in build 26200.8655, but newer builds (e.g., 26200.8894) still show the same symptoms.

This means:



5.​

Many affected systems are:

  • HP Pavilion Aero
  • Dell Inspiron / XPS
  • Lenovo IdeaPad
These OEM images often have:

  • Outdated SSUs
  • Custom servicing policies
  • Preloaded optional features that break component store consistency
This amplifies the issue across millions of devices.

Yes, I too got a number of similar supporting pages. All I posted was the summary.

The answers you get from asking an AI are totally dependent on how you ask the question! If a question is asked with an embedded bias, an AI is programmed to do everything possible to support that bias. That's why I try to limit my use of AI to purely technical questions that have objective rather than subjective answers.

Yup, thus I asked an unbiased question about why DISM/RestoreHealth issues have now become such a hot topic on all the latest Windows builds. I would say that's a pretty unbiased straight forward answer it gave.

Sorry for the late reply. Yesterday (Monday the 17th, 2026), it was 103°F outside and my house hit 97°F, so I didn't even turn on my PCs.
I actually ran sfc /scannow as my first line of troubleshooting and it didn't find any errors. However, as I mentioned while reading this thread, I decided to do some testing. I ran these tests on my three PCs, and here are the results:
  • Dell XPS 8930: It triggered the errors in question, but RestoreHealth ran successfully.
  • Optiplex 3050: It also triggered the errors, but RestoreHealth ran successfully.
  • Inspiron 3650: It threw the same errors, but even after following all the steps you guys suggested, it failed.
For the Inspiron 3650, I tried running:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G:\sources\install.esd /LimitAccess
I tried it with and without the index, and also with and without /LimitAccess. The source image was indeed created via the Media Creation Tool (MCT).
All of them are fully updated to build 26200.9168. I honestly don't think my two unsupported PCs are going to survive this "death by a thousand cuts" from Microsoft! 😂
Note: I'm not a techy! :rolleyes:

I already made that decision. However, it's still certainly "broken" because you can no longer use DISM to fix the component store! If something does happen to it, now your only recourse is a repair install.

DISM is not "broken". It still does it's job. The only thing is; that it is downloading 2x 256Mb (2nd is a retry that fails) when nothing is wrong all the time.
I explained it already in thread #243. When something is wrong; it still repairs. I saw this for myself after an previous update was installed. Saw that after the update many packages were deemed "corrupted" (A very strange thing. Before the update nothing was wrong, and only after the update is was.) RestoreHealth repaired everything. From this point of view RestoreHealth is not only broken! The only thing that is wrong now; it takes longer to finish....

I noticed the new behavior inside the CBS.log with 8655. I for some time watch the logging progress when doing a RestoreHealth. It's logging started to produce new lines that was not seen before in a previous build. MS has made some changes to the CBS-engine. I investigated it further. I installed 8037 (Official v2 ISO of 25H2) on a VM. Updated the system thinking it went straight to update the system to the latest build as seen before. I did not!.. It stopped first to update to 8655 first. A second update went to the final build. Some proof you can't pass by 8655 because there was a major change; that change in the CBS-engine. After that I noticed that the duration of RestoreHealth went from normally 4 minutes in my case to 14 minutes. This behavior is still present with 9168 despite the fact I reported this issue in detail to Microsoft..... They still didn't gave me a reaction on this complaint. I reported it this before on a Microsoft forum first; A spokesperson saw the issue but could not take it further into his chain. He advise me to report this to Microsoft. So I did. He said some more technical skilled people can take a look at it. Till now? Silence....

In your case your attempts to fix things with /RestoreHealth broke off with an error. That is something different! You system is broken in such a way that even /RestoreHealth can't fix it. (outside the range of what RestoreHealth can fix. An error in the registry that can not be fixed.) The only method to fix things in your case; is to do a fresh install. I suggested this earlier. This will fix your issue 100%!!.....
