What is DISM Tool on Windows 10?
DISM stands for Deployment Image Servicing and Management. It’s a command-line tool generally developed for administrators and experts to troubleshoot issues arising from a corrupt system image. For example, if you are getting errors like “An administrator has blocked you from running this app,” it’s likely due to system corruption. In this scenario, the system component is itself modified, so Windows can’t function properly and fix itself.
How to Use DISM Tool on Windows 10?
First of all, press the Windows key once on the keyboard and type “cmd” in the search box. After that, click on “Run as administrator” to open Command Prompt.
