However, if the core problem is not the corrupt files then the solution too should be different. Now, after the scanning is finished, you need to check, whether the issue is dissolved or not. If not, then there is another solution to this and that is the DISM scan. For that, the following steps are compulsory.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing is similar to the previous step. You need to open the Command prompt. This time open it up with the administration. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the command line, type DOSM.exe\/Online\/Cleanup-image\/Restorehealth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_263\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263\" style=\"width: 619px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-263 size-full\" title=\"DOSM.exe\/Online\/Cleanup-image\/Restorehealth\" src=\"https:\/\/productkeysbuzz.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DOSM.exeOnlineCleanup-imageRestorehealth.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productkeysbuzz.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DOSM.exeOnlineCleanup-imageRestorehealth.png 629w, https:\/\/productkeysbuzz.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DOSM.exeOnlineCleanup-imageRestorehealth-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-263\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DOSM.exe\/Online\/Cleanup-image\/Restorehealth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a possibility that the DISM is not able to obtain the files online. If you face this issue, try to use the DVD or USB that you used during your installation. There, insert media and in the command line, type DISM.exe\/Online\/Cleanup-Image\/RestoreHealth\/Source:C:\\RepairSourceWindows\/LimitAccess<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cC:\\RepairSourceWindows\u201d path of your DVD or USB should be replaced. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the last step of your scanning process. After this, you need to check whether the problem is finished or not. If the problem is finished, it is good, if not, then consider doing the SFC scan once again. It is advisable to do so, as there are a lot of people who have said that the SFC scan followed by the DISM scan has worked wonders. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_3_Restarting_the_Windows_Update_Components\"><\/span><b>Solution 3: Restarting the Windows Update Components<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The error 0x80080008 could be sometimes, detected due to the components of Windows Update.
