After I started the DISM.exe /Online/Cleanup-image/Restorehealth I get a flashing white dot and after an hour no new data has shown on the screen! Does the flashing dot mean the restorehealth of my pc is in process?

    I gave up on fixing the update problem with my HP Pavilion desktop. The problem started on 1/9/2018 and I have become too frustrated so, I went to WalMart today and bought a new HP all in One Pavilion Desktop. I appreciate all your help but 3 weeks is of effort is enough!

    It has been almost 5 hours since I Started the DISM.exe  /Online /Cleanup-image/Restorehealth and my hp desktop still has not shown any progress on the screen. Once the above prompt was entered the screen showedDeployment Image Servising and Management tool Version 10.0.16299.15 then on next line-Image Version 10.0.16299.15 and a flashing white dash. When should I possibly see some progress on the screen?

    Hi William,

    It does take a while. I'm not sure which command did you use, but it should be with spaces:

    DISM.exe*<space>/Online<space>/Cleanup-image<space>*/Restorehealth

    You should see a progress and a confirmation after its done. Refer to the photos below:

    Also, make sure that you see the system32 in there. It indicates that you were running the command as administrator.

    Let us know how it goes.
