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 don’t understand what you mean do an in-place upgrade.  is this a change to the DISM command?

    I found that if you press ENTER in the console, it will show the progress - instead of the flashing white underscore.

    Hope that helps.

    Wow. I was having the same issue, it was part way through the scan and then just didn't progress. After I found your comment, I tried pressing ENTER.... And the percentage started going up again! In my case it finished within a few minutes, with no errors found.

    So thank you thank you thank you for suggesting that I hit ENTER! I honestly might not have tried that for quite some time, as I'm always hesitant to interfere with a system that might cause problems.

    I have a similar problem, but when I run the command prompt as admin it says that the cleanup image is unknown. What does that mean?

    try Cleanup-Image  note the dash, not an underscore.  also it is possible to copy and paste to avoid syntax errors?
