When you run a component store cleanup using DISM.exe’s \/startcomponentcleanup<\/code> parameter, the command doesn’t finish correctly. The output shows that the process has stopped at 20%, but the message says, “The operation completed successfully.”<\/p>\n

You may wonder how to reclaim the disk space the component store uses.<\/p>\n

Resolution<\/h2>\n

To fix the issue, uninstall and reinstall a feature (Feature-on-Demand). It can be any<\/strong> feature or capability.<\/p>\n

Example 1: Remove and reinstall XPS Viewer<\/h3>\n

For example, try uninstalling and reinstalling the XPS Viewer<\/a>. The commands are below:<\/p>\n

dism \/online \/remove-capability \/capabilityname:XPS.Viewer~~~~0.0.1.0<\/pre>\n
Restart Windows.<\/p>\n
And then, run the following commands:<\/p>\n
dism \/online \/add-capability \/capabilityname:XPS.Viewer~~~~0.0.1.0<\/pre>\n
Restart Windows again if prompted.<\/p>\n
Then, run:<\/p>\n
dism \/online \/cleanup-image \/startcomponentcleanup<\/pre>\n
\"handYou can also do it the other way<\/strong> around — i.e., install<\/strong> a feature you don’t use, then uninstall<\/strong> it.\"DISM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Let’s say you never use Telnet client and it’s not installed on the computer. So, let’s install Telnet Client and then remove it.<\/p>\n
Example 2: Install Telnet Client and Uninstall it<\/h3>\n
To install and then uninstall the Telnet Client, run these commands<\/p>\n
Dism \/online \/Enable-Feature \/FeatureName:TelnetClient<\/pre>\n
Restart Windows and then run:<\/p>\n
Dism \/online \/Disable-Feature \/FeatureName:TelnetClient<\/pre>\n
Dism \/online \/Cleanup-Image \/StartComponentCleanup<\/pre>\n
The component cleanup should now complete successfully (100%).<\/p>\n
If that doesn’t help, do an in-place upgrade (a.k.a. repair installation) by downloading the Media Creation Tool. Or you may download the Windows ISO<\/a>, mount the ISO, and run setup.exe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
