dism resetbase questions


TecMan

Recommended Posts

Hi Friends:

I have my PC with Windows/explorer.exe reported 9600.16408...it's Windows 8.1 Pro RTM with Media Center...and it's working fine...

Mr. Jinje quote...

So Microsoft published the new iso for convenience factor and no one 'needs' it if they have the RTM-0 + run the dism resetbase command after installing the first four updates.

Questions:

1. Do I need to run dism /online /cleanup-image /resetbase?

2. Is it necessary?

3. Do you recommend me to run the dism resetbase command?

Thanks

TecMa

@TecMan,

There is absolutely no reason to run dism /online /cleanup-image /resetbase, especially on a working fine windows install. :)

(This is just caused by the confusion of poeople wanting the "new" ISO and and you have exactly the same version as the new ISO anyway running fine)

if im not mistaken, resetbase remove any updates that had been superseded

posted by Mr Jinje himself so @TecMan, refer back to that post

Use the /ResetBase switch with the /StartComponentCleanup parameter



1.

Using the /ResetBase switch with the /StartComponentCleanup parameter of DISM.exe on a running version of Windows 8.1 removes all superseded versions of every component in the component store.

From an elevated command prompt, type the following:
Copy

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

Warning
All existing service packs and updates cannot be uninstalled after this command is completed. This will not block the uninstallation of future service packs or updates.

Yes, they were doing this to have the "new" ISO, a load of BS :P
