In reply to Jesse R. Scroll down. It is not a folder - not a yellow icon.

In reply to Ed. Why would you have to remove the BIOS? Nearly all motherboards today use dual-BIOS technology so you can recover the BIOS from a backup on the chip. Too late now, I'm sure, but you should look into that if there's ever a next time.

I am missing the “Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair setting” setting in group policy. What should I do?

I did exactly as described (I’m familiar with doing these sorts of things) and (in summary) this is the error I get:
“Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
Error: 87

The source option is not recognized in this context.
For more information, refer to the help.
The limitaccess option is not recognized in this context.
For more information, refer to the help.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log”

The location of the Windows directory I chose was from a mapped network drive. There are no other problems on this PC which I am aware of. Any reason why the /source command wouldn’t be working? Thanks!

I’m starting to think that the /source parameter cannot use a UNC network path. Can anyone verify?
