Более или менее продвинутые пользователи нередко пользуются командной строкой, ведь через неё можно влиять на большинство системных процессов. При использовании строки DISM, которая есть в седьмой и следующих версиях Windows, время от времени могут появляться сообщения об ошибке.
Это норма для любой программы, но наша задача — избавиться от неполадки, чтобы выполнить необходимую команду. Ошибка 87 DISM возникает по нескольким причинам, и в каждом случае есть свои пути её устранения.
Иногда пользователи могут столкнуться с ошибкой 87 в строке DISM
Давайте выясним, при каких обстоятельствах обычно появляется такое сообщение и как избавиться от него без посторонней помощи.
С чем связана ошибка 87?
Как правило, она напрямую относится к любым действиям, выполняемым с директорией WinSxS. Если вдруг в Windows пропадёт любой системный файл, он тут же будет восстановлен рабочей копией из этой папки. То есть, WinSxS это очень важная папка с документами.
И вот ошибка 87 возникает в тот момент, когда пользователь пытается проделать какие-то операции с папкой через DISM. А теперь давайте конкретнее рассмотрим ситуации, когда возникает эта неполадка, чтобы в зависимости от них узнать способы избавления от неё.
Ошибка 87 при проверке целостности системных файлов
Время от времени Windows 7, 8, 8.1 и даже последняя версия начинает некорректно работать. Иногда компьютер внезапно перезагружается или попросту часто зависает. В такой ситуации обычно пользователям советуют не только проверить ПК на вирусы, но и выяснить, нет ли каких-либо повреждений в системных файлах.
Чтобы произвести такую проверку, используется командная строка, где вводится sfc /scannow. Если всё хорошо, то пользователь получает соответствующий текст. Однако в некоторых случаях вы получите сообщение о том, что система нашла повреждённые файлы, но ничего не может с ними сделать.
В этот момент в игру вступает DISM — следует открыть его от имени администратора и ввести такие команды:
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth — если у вас седьмая версия Windows;
- Та же команда + DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth — две команды для Windows 8, 10. Первая необходима для поиска повреждений, вторая команда запускает их исправление.
Именно после первой комбинации из списка, которая разработана для седьмой версии системы, всплывает ошибка 87 в командной строке DISM с сопутствующим текстом «Параметр ScanHealth не распознан в этом контексте».
Как её исправить? Первое очень простое решение — проверить правильность ввода комбинации. Поскольку эта командная строка очень требовательна к каждому знаку, убедитесь, что ставите только один пробел перед каждым слешем.
Не помогло? Тогда вам следует скачать обновление под названием KB2966583 на сайте Майкрософт и установить его на своём компьютере.
После успешной установки вы сможете снова запустить командную строку DISM и выполнить восстановление целостности файлов Windows.
Ошибка 87 и попытки почистить директорию WinSxS
Иногда вышеупомянутую директорию, которая работает страховкой для всех самых важных файлов, пытаются уменьшить. Для чего? В большинстве случаев папка WinSxS занимает много места на диске — 5,7 и даже 8 и больше ГБ, что может не нравиться пользователям, особенно если свободной памяти и так не хватает.
Поэтому чтобы немного сэкономить место, можно удалить бэкап папки таким образом:
- Открывается DISM.
- Вводиться текст dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded /hidesp.
Часто именно после этой команды выбивает ошибку 87 с таким текстом: «Параметр spsuperseded не распознан в этом контексте».
Что делать в таком случае? Проверьте работоспособность сервиса «Установщик модулей Windows». Если он нерабочий, установите его, запустите, и затем повторите вышеуказанные действия.
Если же это не помогло, значит, команда для удаления бэкапа уже выполнялась, и больше места вы сэкономить не сможете.
Теперь вы знаете, по каким причинам появляется ошибка 87 в командной строке Windows, и знаете, что делать для её исчезновения. Советуем быть аккуратными при пользовании подобными программами и внимательно следить за тем, в какие процессы вы вмешиваетесь, чтобы не навредить компьютеру.

The first picture is of your Advanced Bot Options. This isn’t part of the repair installation, so it looks like you are not doing what I had requested.
Please use the instructions I posted for the repair installation. One of the step includes the startup repair, let this do its thing and get on with the rest of the repair. This is the only thing you can do at this point short of doing a reinstall of the operating system, or use the system recovery. Either of these will erase all of your data.
I leave this morning to take my wife to her physician for her bi-monthly treatment and will not be back until Wed. or Thrs.
Family and loved ones will always be a priority in my daily life. You never know when one will leave you.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth Explained
In this Itechguide, Victor explains “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” – what it is and how to use it. The Itechguide also includes some examples.
“DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” is a DISM command that repairs issues with the running Operating system you are logged into.
Before I go further to explain what “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” does let me define DISM.exe first.
Browse Post Topics
What is DISM.EXE?
DISM.exe (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) is a Windows command-line tool that is used to manage both Windows Online and Offline Images.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth Explained
As I said in my introduction, this command fixes any problem(s) identified in your current operating system.
But what does each switch in this command do? I will explain the switches and put it all together for you.
DISM.exe /Online vs /Image
When you run DISM.exe command, you must either specify the /Online or /Image switch. If you specify the /Online switch, DISM.exe will not expect a path to an offline image. Rather, the command tool will target the running operating system.
On the other hand, if you specify the /Image switch, Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool will expect you to specify the path to the root directory of an offline Windows image.
So, DISM.exe /Online switch means you are asking DISM to target the running Operating system instead of an offline image. In the next section, I will explain the /Cleanup-Image switch.
DISM.exe /Cleanup-Image
For DISM.exe command to work, the /Online or /Image switch must be followed by other image servicing commands. One of the command-line options for the DISM.exe /Online switch is the /Cleanup-Image switch.
So, what does the /Cleanup-Image switch do in our “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” command? The /Cleanup-Image switch performs cleanup and recovery operations on the running Operating System.
To put it together to this point: when you run the command “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image”, you are asking Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool to:
- Target the running Operating System
- Perform cleanup and recovery operations on the running Operating System
DISM.exe /Restorehealth
The last switch in “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” command is the /Restorehealth switch. The /RestoreHealth switch scans the Operating System for corrupt files. If DISM finds corrupt files, it attempts to repair them automatically.
What Does “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth” Do?
With the 3 switches in the command explained, I can summarize what the command does.
When you run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth command, it does the following:
- The /Online switch instructs DISM.exe to target the running Operating System instead of an offline Windows image (.wim) file or virtual hard disk (.vhd or .vhdx)
- The /Cleanup-Image switch performs cleanup and recovery operations on the running Operating System
- Finally, the /Restorehealth switch scans the running Operating System for corrupt files and attempts to fix them.
Below is the result of the command.
How to Use DISM.EXE to Check Your Operating System Health
I suppose by now, you are probably thing “can DISM.exe help me find problems in my OS?” Yes, it can! If you are having problems with your Windows computer, use the /ScanHealth switch to perform advanced scan. See the command below:
The result of the command is shown in the image below:
How To Run DISM.EXE from Windows 10 Recovery Mode
Sometimes Windows may not even boot. If you wish to repair your Windows 10 computer that does not boot at all, use the steps below:
- Download Windows 10 ISO, burn it into a DVD and boot your computer with it. For a step by step guide on how to download Window 10 ISO image, read Download Windows 10 ISO Image.
- When your computer boots to the screen shown below, press any key to boot into the Windows 10 DVD.
- Next, click Troubleshoot. Then click Command Prompt.
- Command Prompt loads.
How To Extract Install.WIM from Windows 10 ISO
As I said earlier, before you can use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command with a WIM file, the file has to be extracted.
Follow the steps below to extract the OS WIM file from install.esd:
- First, you need to determine the drive your ISO image was mounted. This will depend on the number of drives on your computer. Knowing that it cannot be drive C, try D, then E and so on.
- To change to a drive, enter the drive name, followed by colon then press Enter.
- Next, type Dir and press the Enter key.
Keep checking possible drive letters until you find the one with folders, boot, efi, sources and support. This is the drive your Windows 10 ISO is mounted.
- Next, you need to find the index number of the Windows 10 edition you wish to use. To do this, execute the command below:
- Then, type this command and press the enter key.
The result of the last command is shown below:
All the Windows 10 editions are listed with their index number. As the edition installed on my computer is Windows 10 Pro, I need to use the same edition for DISM repair. To see the index number, I need to scroll down a bit. Here are the details of Windows 10 Pro.
The index number I need is 6.
Before you proceed, you need to create a folder to extract your Install.WIM file to. To do this type the command below and press Enter.
- Now it is time to extract Install.WIM to d:test folder. To do this, run the command below:
When the command completes, proceed to the next step.
- Finally, to repair windows 10 using intall.wim, run the command below:
When I ran the command it returned error 50: DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option. If you receive this error message, find the resolution below this image.
How to Fix DISM Error 50
If you receive error 50 – “dism does not support servicing windows PE with the /online option”, resolve it with the steps below:
- From the command prompt, type regedit and press enter. Registry editor opens.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001Control. Right-click MiniNT key and delete it. On the delete confirmation, click Yes.
- On the command prompt, type Exit and press Enter. Then Select Turn Off your PC.
- When the Computer reboots, repeat the steps from Run DISM.EXE from Windows 10 Recovery Mode (opens in a new window/tab)
- When Command Prompt loads, change to the drive letter where your ISO is mounted. Also change to the Sources directory. Then rerun the DISM command shown below:
If error 50 persists, get more information on how to resolve it from this guide – How to quickly fix DISM error 50 on Windows 10 (opens in a new window/tab). You may also read the DISM log shown in the error message.

Anyway, once DISM failed after Windows updates or whenever, you would find it hard to fix many system image issues, thus numerous system crashes, such as black screen with cursor. Now try to get down to resolving this DISM cleanup-image error 87 for Windows 10.
What is DISM?
Preinstalled on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, Windows Deployment Imaging Servicing Management (DISM) is dedicated to repairing and preparing Windows images, including Windows Recovery Environment, Windows Setup, and Windows PE. And one the other hand, DISM also serves to fix the recovery images of Windows system and Virtual hard disk on Windows 10.
Specifically, working as a system management tool, DISM often comes into play while you are unable to solve the Windows errors using the SFC (System File Checker). It is also used to correct the problematic files, thus enabling the SFC. That is how you use DISM to fix SFC can’t work error on Windows 10.
Having known well about the DISM tool, it is time to deal with the error occurring to it, like DISM error 87.
How to Fix DISM Error 87 on Windows 10?
In most cases, parameters in Command Prompt needs to be absolutely correct, otherwise, it will show you the command is unknown and warns you of an error.
And for another thing, as per the normal situations, users won’t get into DISM cleanup-image error 87 when using DISM /CheckHealth or DISM / ScanHealth, this error 87 DISM or code 50 or 0x800f081f is unique to DISM /RestoreHealth.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Do make sure there is a space between every DISM and /.
As long as there is no DISM incorrect parameter, even a blank space will cause Windows 10 to error code 87 for Deployment Imaging Servicing Management.
Tips: What are DISM Commands Used for?
In short, there are mainly three DISM commands.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth is designed for checking the detected files.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth aims to scan for the corrupted files or Windows images.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth affords to repair the damaged files.
After DISM finished its working, you will get to know the image version and whether there is component corruption on Windows 10. If possible DISM Restore Health will help you get rid of the corrupted files and images.
Solution 2: Revert Windows Update and Clear Component Store
Apart from the incorrect parameter for DISM, Windows update issues are also to blame as DISM will evoke it to supply files for fixing corruptions.
On this occasion, you would better convert the updated Windows 10 to its previous one and then clean up the component store which supports Windows updates, installations, and configurations.
1. In Command Prompt, copy and paste the following command and then hit Enter to revert Windows 10 updates.
dism.exe /image:C: /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
That will revert all the pending actions, such as Windows 10 updates.
After that, you are supposed to reboot your PC to take effect. Or if possible, it is feasible to enter the safe mode to fix the DISM error 87 or 0x800f081f.
2. Then again in Command Prompt, run the command below to clean up the component store corruptions.
dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
3. Reboot Windows 10 again.
The WinSxS folder where the component store and also some the potentially corrupted files locate will be cleaned up.
You are likely now able to run DISM cleanup well on Windows 10. And it is suggestible that you manage to run SFC, you will find the System File Checker tool can work as normal as well.
Solution 3: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter
After all, DISM error 87 or 2, 50, 87 can be relevant to Windows 10 updates. There is a high probability that Windows embedded troubleshooter will fix this cleanup error.
1. Head to Start > Settings > Update & Security.
2. Under Troubleshoot, find out Windows Update and then click Run the troubleshooter.
It will take some time for Windows 10 to troubleshoot the DISM cleanup issues in Windows system installation.
