Windows corruption error

MONIXMARU
Go to solution Solved by Whatisthis,

Use the media creation tool to create a bootable usb stick with the installation media on it. You need a blank 16GB stick. Boot from that and do a fresh install of the OS. It will give you an option to format the drive prior to the install.

 

This is kind of the nuclear option. Make sure you have backups of any data you need because it is going to be wiped. If this doesn’t fix it, you probably have a hardware issue.

I downloaded DSA to update my drivers and while doing that, it was requested to restart. I restart and later I am hit with a bunch of windows updates. It also requested to restart so I restart it and there is not difference, it still says restart now and I do that at least 3-4 times and it still stays the same. I then try to reset the pc but I am hit with a bunch of errors. I use the reset pc from settings and then I am hit with "cannot reset pc as there were no changes made", I tried every single possibility, from cloud download to local reinstall, selected complete wipe but still there was the same error multiple times. I even ran the windows ISO but it still didn't work and it said "windows 10 installation has failed", I did it multiple times and the error was still the same. I even ran the media creation tool, and selected upgrade pc and still the outcome was the same. Please help!!!

Open Command Prompt (CMD) as Administrator or PowerShell as Administrator or Windows Terminal.

Use these commands:

DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

This is kind of the nuclear option. Make sure you have backups of any data you need because it is going to be wiped. If this doesn’t fix it, you probably have a hardware issue.
