Dism/Restore health

Question

Dism/Restore health

kirbster 1 120

Windows 11 26200.8521 Release Preview

In the past Dism/restore health used to get "stuck" at 62%, then MS did something that corrected it.

After yesterdays update to 26200.8521, I am now running the Dism scans. It is now stuck at 62% again.

Has anyone else experienced this? dismrestore

Hello kirbster 1,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

DISM run into a halt at 62% (the exact percentage might vary) actually is quite common, even in public released version, which might not always mean your DISM is having issues. Before proceeding, can you please help do a check first?

Leave the DISM running, don't interrupt it.
Open PowerShell as administrator.
Type Get-Content C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log -tail 10 -wait and press Enter.
Watch the PowerShell screen, if it still adding lines in a regular basis, DISM is actually still working and that tell that you need to wait for it to finish.

Please let me know if there are any updates.

well carl -l dism/restorehealth used to always hang around 62-63 percent. The MS in one of their releases did something where for about a month or two, there was no hang. Then with this latest release the hang was back. That is what I stated in my question

Hello kirbster 1,

Thanks for replying.

Actually, that what I was wondering about. The DISM hang at 62% can be totally random and unpredictable. So it is not expected to happen every time. This actually happens to me when I try it on my computer. That not always means there is an issue with it, sometimes it's just the commands is too busy working. The command I just provide can help you know whether it is running or something is blocking it. Thank you for your understanding.
