Error 0x800f0915 means DISM cannot find repair content for the Windows image. In this situation, use DISM with an explicit repair source, then rerun SFC, and if problems persist, consider a reset.
Follow these steps:
- Open an elevated Command Prompt
- In the search box on the taskbar, type
command prompt. - Right‑click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- In the search box on the taskbar, type
- Run DISM with a repair source
- Mount or connect a valid Windows 11 installation source (for example, a Windows 11 ISO or USB that matches your installed build as closely as possible), or use another working Windows installation or a WinSxS folder on a network share.
- Run a command in this form (adjust the path to your actual repair source):
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess - Replace
C:\RepairSource\Windowswith the folder that contains the Windows image files. - Wait for the command to complete.
- Run System File Checker again
- In the same elevated Command Prompt, run:
sfc /scannow - Wait until verification reaches 100% and check that it reports no integrity violations.
- In the same elevated Command Prompt, run:
- If corruption is still reported
- View the SFC details in
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.logand manually replace specific corrupted files with known good copies, as described in the System File Checker guidance. - If SFC still reports unrepairable corruption after DISM with a valid source and manual replacement, use Reset this PC with Keep my files to reinstall Windows while preserving personal data.
