RE: StartComponentCleanup Task fails
DISM giving contradictory results

My StartComponentCleanup task in Tasks Scheduler was failing with the error:
Last Run Result: The component store has been corrupted. (0x80073712).

The task is located in Task Sheduler under Microsoft, Windows, Servicing

No problem, I thought - over to elevated command prompt and DISM.


>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031
Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031
[==========================100.0%==========================]
No component store corruption detected.
The operation completed successfully.


OK Great, should be ready to clean.


>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031
Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 14098
The component store has been corrupted.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Odd, let’s fix that up.

>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031
Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031
[==========================100.0%==========================]
The restore operation completed successfully. The component store corruption was repaired.
The operation completed successfully.

Let’s be safe and re-scan.

>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031
Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031
[==========================100.0%==========================]
No component store corruption detected.
The operation completed successfully.


And on to cleanup


>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.17031
Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Error: 14098
The component store has been corrupted.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log


I’m totally at a loss. How can it report as non-corrupted, repaired and corrupted all in quick succession????
Unsure how to fix. Windows Updates works fine and we have no other symptoms except that the StartComponentCleanup Task always fails as explained above.

Thank You.
