DISM error 3 when trying to run a SCANHEALTH
Hello to all! Windows 7 user here. Not the best with computers but have some basic knowledge. I was using the DISM feature just fine for a while and when I went to use it recently to perform Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth I got the dreaded error 3: The directory C: windows does not appear to be a valid windows directory. Please ensure that the /Windir option that is specified is valid.
So, by any chance can any of my brilliant friends here let me know what happened or where things went wrong? The only change I made to the computer was downloading a couple windows updates but I restored my computer to a time before those updates were installed..and I still have the problem. I also tried reinstalling the system update readiness tool in case it may have been corrupted and still have the error.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me because it's driving me insane and it seems as if the web is just a big runaround on this issue. Hopefully with some expert advice we can get this fixed
