DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) repairs Windows system images, fixes component store corruption and manages drivers — built into every Windows 10/11.
| Version | Size | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in | System tool | Stable — official channel |
| 1 | Windows 10/11 |
|---|---|
| 2 | Administrator command prompt |
| 3 | Internet for source files (optional) |
Open Terminal as admin: run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, then /RestoreHealth, then finish with sfc /scannow.
DISM first, then SFC — DISM repairs the component store that SFC relies on; reversed order may fail.
RestoreHealth downloads clean files from Windows Update by default. Use /Source with a mounted ISO for offline repair.
The source files are missing. Mount a matching Windows ISO and rerun with /Source:wim:X:\sources\install.wim:1.
Yes — list with /Get-Packages then remove by name with /Remove-Package, useful for rolling back bad patches.
No, it ships with Windows 10/11. Only image-deployment scenarios need the DISM from Windows ADK.
