error 0x800f0906 The source files could not be downloaded
George:
Hi,
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth failed with the error message:
error 0x800f0906
The source files could not be downloaded. Use the "source" option...go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077
Alas, I couldn't make out anything from the given link.
I enabled connection to windows updates directly, via gpedit.msc, as sugested here
http://www.eightforums.com/performance-maintenance/48368-restorehealth-error-0x800f0906.html
It didn't help.
Per http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-corrupt-windows-image-error-0x800f0906 I also tried this:
elevated cmd
net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net stop cryptsvc
cd %systemroot%\system32
ren catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc
then reboot
No success.
sfc/scannow reported it'd found corrupted files but couldn't fix them.
Of course, I wanted to try Shane's program but couldn't find which repair option to run.
What should I do?
Many thanks,
George
Boggin:
Running SFCFix.exe should show you just what files sfc /scannow is unable to repair and give a more concise report and in some cases can fix them.

You could also try a Refresh - I assume you are using Win 8.1 ?
George:
SFCFix.exe gave me the same error message as Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth, please find enclosed the screenshot.
Earlier, for another issue, I tried Refresh, it took most of my customization, I have a lot, while it didn't solve my problem.
Yes, I run Windows 8.1, 64 bit.
Boggin:
Have you tried the /restorehealth cmd with your antivirus program disabled or in a clean boot with all start up items and non-MS services unchecked in msconfig ?
George:
I'm reluctant to turn off all protection I'm afraid though I need to. I'm going to try it.
