RUN DISM Offline

From an admin command or PowerShell window from a live USB:

X:>DISM /Image:c:\ /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth /scratchdir:c:\windows\temp /source:esd:E:\sources\install.esd:1 /LimitAccess

Use DiskPart (diskpart > list volume) to check for the correct drive letter of the Windows install you want to repair (C: in this case), and E: should be swapped for the drive letter of the Windows USB installer you’re booted from. Using LimitAccess stops Windows from trying to contact Windows Update, which will error out if you’re offline.

This is different from the way DISM is used from a running Windows installation, where you would use the /Online switch so the tool fixes the compressed Windows image files, while checking Windows Update for the replacement files.

Once DISM finishes, run SFC /scannow at least twice, then reboot. From a live USB the syntax is slightly different: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows while using the same drive letters as when we ran DISM a minute ago.
