Unable to use RestoreHealth in DISM
Hi all, I had a windows update fail with 0x800f0831 which indicates corrup files. So I ran the DISM commands DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTHD DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /CHECKHEALTH DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH However RestoreHealth failed saying it could not find the source So I tried DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:H:\Sources\install.wim /LimitAccess and again it stated it could not find the source. So I inspected the install.wim file and my system Win11 Pro is actually on index 6, so I then tried DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:H:\Sources\install.wim:6 /LimitAccess And still it could not find the source.? So what is going on?

A slow internet connection can be frustrating, especially when you are streaming videos, playing online games, attending meetings, downloading files, or simply browsing the web. Many people immediately blame their internet provider or router, but sometimes the problem is not your connection speed — it is the way your computer communicates with websites. https://dellenny.com/how-to-improve-internet-speed-with-dns-tweaks-in-windows-11/repair or replace windows11 operating system
I have a legit windows11 OS on my computer but it ran very slow. In trying to speed it up I have ended (or removed some critical files). For example, I deleted the WinZip capability and also my sound driver and other needed capabilities. To get windows11 working properly again (although slow) is it best to do some kind of repair or is it/can I download (reinstall) the ISO file from Microsoft? If I reinstall, do I need to delete anything before I reinstall? Pete
Windows 11 slow to startup
Windows 11 Slow Startup I have a MSI ge75 Raider 10sf-018 that would boot pretty quickly to desktop on Windows 11. I don’t remember why but I decided to format and reinstall and now it no longer boots as quickly as it did before even though in the past I’ve formatted the drive and reinstalled everything and it worked just fine. Not only is it slow to boot but slow to load the desktop and slow to react when trying to open programs or system tools. I wipe the drive again and same results. Booting into Safe Mode and same slow responses.

Microsoft should make a native app with fluent style to help users watch their screen/app time. In 2026 there hasn't been an app that's free, solid and that feels native in Windows 11, because there aren't any API for that. Apps like Activity Watch for some reason don't work in my PC and apps like SolidTime are paid and not really fluent. Naturally, something like this should be made by Microsoft itself. Android has it since the beginning, why Windows doesn't have it yet?
