Solved Problem Running DISM.../RestoreHealth


You are unforgiven, but also deeply mistaken and failing to cite Microsoft correctly in your core message. :D
Not sure what you're on about, mate. One of your links says the same thing one of my links says: run DISM before SFC.

The other is from an MVP and not official. That post also says to run CheckHealth, ScanHealth and RestoreHealth, which is fun if you like wasting time.

Also, I don't need your forgiveness, and I'm not looking for a debate.

Just kidding about "I before E, except after C". (y) Besides, you seems to site MS opinion without a proving link. :-)

There are two links literally right below the "I before E" quip.


Buh-bye now.

Actually, that guy's many posts added useful depth on the discussed matter missing in the basic MS Support messages and DISM CMD refs.
This SO post you seem to like so much says,

SFC always assumes the Component Store is not corrupted and is why the DISM /RestoreHealth parameter (Windows 7: SUR) should always be run prior to SFC; not doing so allows a corrupted Component Store to potentially replace a good system file with a corrupted one or fail to fix corruption within %WinDir% altogether

"DISM ... should always be run prior to SFC." Which is what I said in post 9. Thanks for the backup.

DISM is more authoritative than SFC, because it can perform a consistency check on WinSxS. SFC just assumes WinSxS is truthful.

- If you patch a Windows file and run SFC; SFC will determine the file has changed, and restore it from WinSxS.

- If you patch the same file in both Windows and WinSxS, it will pass the SFC test. But it will fail DISM because there's a catalog file, and the modded file doesn't match the stored hash value. DISM can't fix Windows, but it knows there's a problem and wants you to provide a clean WinSxS source to solve it.

Is it possible for malicious software to also change the catalog file to make corrupted OS look genuine?
Theoretically yes. But all Windows files are signed with a secure certificate, so you would have to break that.

Yes, but it makes a nice rhyme.
Hehe but you didn't quote the entire "rule"!

"I before E, except after C, or when sounded as A, as in Neighbor, and Weigh". Far less words break the full rule than meet it. Most that break it are coined words with origins in germanic and other modern languages.

This is the full rule I was taught in elementary school. And yes, I was sad when the dinosaurs died. 😁
