Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) commands are used to repair Windows images, such as system files, registry files, and drivers. These types of commands require administrator privileges to run on Windows. Therefore, running these commands with the administrator should resolve the error.
1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator
Running the command prompt as an administrator grants the necessary permissions required to run the DISM command. This will allow the DISM to access and repair the system files, which is essential for repairing Windows images. Without administrator privileges, you cannot run DISM commands. You need to run the command prompt as an administrator first.
2. Disable User Account Control (UAC)
Disabling the User Account Control (UAC) can prevent it from blocking the execution of the DISM commands that require administrator privileges. By disabling the UAC, the system will automatically grant the necessary permissions without asking for administrator approval. However, after executing the command, it is strongly recommended that you re-enable the UAC. Otherwise, all programs will run as administrator, which means your protected system files and settings can be modified by any untrusted third-party program without your approval. Therefore, you must turn UAC back on even if the error persists.
3. Create a Command Prompt Shortcut
Creating a command prompt shortcut and configuring it to always run as administrator may help you resolve this error message, especially if you are running the DISM command without administrator privileges. This method is not different from the first method. Both methods will work in the same manner.
