class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is horrifying to know that just like Windows Update, Device drivers, the Windows DISM tool can also have an error. The Error 0x800f081f often occurs when you try to run the DISM Command Prompt to restore your computer\u2019s health, e.g., DISM \/RestoreHealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the DISM command cannot find the files required to repair the particular Windows error, then you will receive an error code display, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cError: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Error 0x800f081f Windows Update is one of the other four errors that can occur when you perform the DISM Command Prompt. The three other error codes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Error 0x800F0906<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Error 0x800F0907<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-windows-error-0x800f0922\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Error 0x800F0922<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The DISM error can trigger other errors on your computer, such as the Windows Update <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/fix-windows-update-error-0x80070422\/\">(0x80070422)<\/a> error. This occurs when the corrupted files are not replaced immediately and prevents other processes from functioning properly. Hence, it is important to resolve error 0x800f081f as soon as it shows up on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Error 0x800f081f and its related error codes typically occur in Windows 10. Other affected Windows versions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows Server version 1709<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows Server 2016<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows 8.1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows Server 2012 R2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows Server 2012<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Causes_of_the_Error_0x800f081f\"><\/span>What Are the Causes of the Error 0x800f081f?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tech knowledgeable Windows users report that the main cause of the Error 0x800f081f Windows Update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 incompatibilities. This is also the cause of the other three error codes related to error 0x800f081f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, these errors occur when users enable the .NET Framework using either the DISM tool (Deployment Image Servicing and Management), installation wizard, or the Windows PowerShell commands. Other causes of the DISM error 0x800f081f include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Corrupted Windows Update or system files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect computer configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows components\/software conflicts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malware attack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unstable Internet connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_the_Windows_DISM_Error_0x800f081f\"><\/span>How to Fix the Windows DISM Error 0x800f081f<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the solutions below to resolve the Windows DISM Error 0x800f081f on Windows 10.
