Unable To Execute Dism On Windows 10

[Jubei]

On my Windows 10 which is installed on a VM, when I run the command "Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup" I receive an error like :-

Similarly I cannot run any DISM commands since I receive the error same as above for them all.

Please find the DISM and CBS logs in below links:-

Try these commands.
DISM

If you are on win 8 (and up) you should also run DISM whether SFC found errors or not!!
From an elevated command prompt
You can run Check, then Scan, but you should always run RESTORE HEALTH?
To check the health (You would use /CheckHealth to only check whether the image has been flagged as corrupted)

run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth?

To scan the health use /ScanHealth to scan the image for component store corruption. This option does not fix any corruption.
run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth?

To RESTORE health (recommended)
Use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to scan the image for component store corruption, perform repair operations automatically, and records that corruption to the log file. This generally takes 15-30 minutes depending on the corruption and size of the partition?

You can run scanhealth & restore health at the same time like this
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth && DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

(please note the space after "dism", & "online" & "image")
If the repair is successful you may want to re-run SFC just to check.?

After running DISM it is a good idea to re-run SFC /scannow to make sure all the issues were fixed.
If you get the error message "cannot find source files"you need to have an ISO file mounted and need to specify where it is located with the below command
The ISO must be exactly the same version as the running OS. An ISO of 10586.0 will not repair a running system of 10586.35 because it has additional updates and files.?

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess Where "X" is the drive letter where the ISO is located. Simply change the "X" to the correct drive letter?

Much appreciate the response Sir, but actually for me none of the DISM commands seems to work, and I am unable to understand reading the DISM or CBS log files as well :-(

I shall insert the Installation ISO and try the last method which you specified to check it out -> DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

download and install the last ADK 17133.1 or 16299.15 then open the dism and try from there..when you install adk one more similar too cmd will installed..deployiment and imaging something.

Thanks @shhnedo and @WhiteDeath for saying your thoughts. I am at a loss, except to format and re install.

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate you guys pitching in to help me out

I had to do a fresh re-install to get the DISM commands working. And its seems that the Windows Update service should be running if DISM needs to be executed, else it'll fail. Hope to get a good program like DWS to stop the infamous Win_10 Spying activities.

This isn't true. DISM itself has nothing to do with WU service.

I see. Well one of my friend had come over to my place with exactly the same issue. He restarted his WU service and the DISM was working. He earlier stopped it due to MS downloading leeching away at his N/W. But yeah, I am not sure about what helped the DISM to start working.
