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?

    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.

    But do I have to wait so long after putting the string? Because I don't give the procession to me
