I've run the usual DISM checks and tried rebooting and refreshing my system multiple times now but whenever I try to install 26h2 I keep getting the same error, any ideas?

    Hi, good day!

    You mentioned that you’ve already run the usual DISM checks and tried rebooting and “refreshing” the system. Could you clarify what you mean by refreshing?

    Also, did DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth complete successfully, or did it also return the 0x800F081F error?

    What is your current Windows version and OS build? You can check this by pressing Windows key + R to open Run then typing winver, and sharing a screenshot.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.
