You're getting error 0x800f0906 because you have KB3022345 installed. Uninstall it by going to Programs and Features in Control Panel and then click the link to "View installed updates".

In the Search box top right, copy/paste (or type) KB3022345 and when it appears in the list, right click it and choose Uninstall.

See these two articles for more info on the subject: Microsoft confirms patch KB3022345 breaks SFC /scannow

    Sorry Tom1066, if you can't locate a friend with a similar system as yours, I don't know where to find a source. I've tried my win8.0 cd but no go. Either it can't be used (as others have reported) with a win8.1 system or I couldn't figure out the correct command (dism) to use.

    As far as refreshing your system :((, I agree that is the nuclear option that I want to avoid at all costs for the same reasons you have given. A bad idea for a couple of bad file. :((

    OEM Product Keys might not work in the first link it is probably only for Retail Windows 8.1.  Perhaps you can borrow a Windows 8.1 .iso from a Computer Repair shop etc?

    Create installation media for Windows 8.1

    If you locate Windows 8.1 setup maybe you can get the files you need via this.

    Hi Ramesh,

    Have you had a chance to look at my comments from the 9th of July?

    Given that lots of people seem to be suffering from some few corrupted modules, I would have thought that it would be a simple matter for Microsoft to provide access to a library which can then be used as a DISM source. Is there something like this available?

    As I mentioned before I am very reluctant to go down a route refreshing my PC which would require me to spend at least a week reinstalling applications, just because of some small scale correctable corruption in Windows or a bug in DISM.

    I have a similar problem. The laptop came with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pre-installed by Toshiba. I upgraded it to 8 and then 8.1. It has not been updated to 8.1 Update.  Windows only starts (so far twice) using Startup Settings option 7: "Disable driver signature enforcement". When it’s running the applications seems to be working fine, but there are problems with Windows Functionality, see below.

    SFC /scannow

    Message: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

    Looking in the log and searched for "cannot". There is a printer driver that cannot be fixed. Only found three instances of "cannot".


    DISM.exe ... /scanhealth

    Message: The component store is repairable. The operation completed successfully.

    DISM.exe ... /restorehealth ****Message: 

    Error 0x800f0906

    The source file could not be downloaded.

    Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=243077

    DISM.exe /online  /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:c:\windows\winsxs \limitaccess

    Error message: 0x800f081

    Looking at the DISM log, I can't see any specific files that are missing.

    I do not have access to other user’s copies of 8.1 source files. 

    www.support.microsoft.com/kb/2811660

    I tried to manually install and get the message that it is not appropriate for the system.



    Virus ProtectionI use the free version of Avast, Spybot and now Ad-Aware. Windows Defender is turned off. I am running a full scan now with Ad-Aware.

    Windows Update and File History not working

    When I try to run Windows Update I get a pop up error message: 

    C:\users<username>\AppData\windows.immersivecontrolpanle_c.... (note: cannot read the rest)

    this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function.

    I ran the repair utility for Windows Update and it comes back reporting the error is fixed, but I am guessing it requires a restart to get Windows Update running.

    The last update of windows functions is dated 7/2. KB2969339. This looks to be the last time Windows Update did an update.

    Also backup of data with File History function gives a similar error message as Windows Update.
