Repair a system image with DISM
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a Windows® built-in
command-line tool used to prepare, modify, and repair Windows system images.
You can save images and use them to deploy and restore the Windows operating
system. Use DISM to repair your system when it does not boot properly, when you get
a blue screen error or when a System File Check (SFC) does not resolve it.
Note This task requires a user with administrative privileges on the server.
Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell® and type the following commands, as needed.
