About this tag
The 'repair source not found' tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions where users encounter errors when attempting to repair Windows system files using DISM or SFC. A common scenario involves the DISM tool failing to locate a valid source for repair files, often after a Windows Update causes issues like DNS resolution failure or services not starting.
