[Fix] DISM Error 1: Incorrect Function

When you run the component store cleanup or install a Feature-On-Demand package using DISM, the error code 1 may appear.

C:\Windows\System32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

Error: 1

Incorrect function.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Cause

This happens if makecab.exe is unable to archive the CBS logs. When the error occurs, the CBS.log file may contain the following lines:

Resolution

To resolve the issue, clear the CBS logs.

Open Command Prompt (admin) and run the following commands:

net stop trustedinstaller

cd /d C:\WINDOWS\Logs\CBS

del cbs*.*

Then, rerun the component store cleanup:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

That should resolve the issue.
