However, users still experience a slew of errors and glitches. From software incompatibility to system file damage, various problems can cripple the entire system or result in specific errors that halt certain operations.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft continues the tradition of leaving built-in Windows tools at the disposal of users because the company&#8217;s experts understand that errors are inevitable. But those tools can spit out errors, too.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re on this page because you&#8217;re looking for solutions to the DISM error 1392. The DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool is responsible for servicing and preparing Windows image files, including those used for repair purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In Windows 10, the tool is used to fetch recovery files that the System File Checker tool uses to replace problematic system files. It can also fix image files when the operating system becomes faulty. The utility is also used for advanced purposes, such as mounting a virtual hard disk or Windows image.<\/p>\n<p>Running DISM involves using the Command Prompt, as it is a command-line tool. These are the most common DISM commands:<\/p>\n<pre>DISM \/Online \/Cleanup-image \/CheckHealth\r\n\r\nDISM \/Online \/Cleanup-image \/ScanHealth\r\n\r\nDISM \/Online \/Cleanup-image \/RestoreHealth<\/pre>\n<p>Sometimes, the DISM scan fails with error 1392. Other commands can also produce the error.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the DISM Error 1392?<\/h2>\n<p>The full error message reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cError: 1392<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The file or directory is corrupt or unreadable\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The message implies that some system files are corrupt or unavailable. An unreadable system file could be the reason you ran the scan in the first place. If the issue isn&#8217;t resolved as soon as possible, you&#8217;ll experience system-wide problems, such as data losses, crashes, hardware failures, and, in some cases, blue screens of death.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Does DISM Fail?<\/h2>\n<p>Different system issues can trigger the error. Your antivirus program might be blocking a crucial system file that the tool needs to carry out the scan, or your computer might be under a malware attack. Other possible causes of the problem are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Faulty hard disk sectors<\/li>\n<li>Temporary files<\/li>\n<li>Application conflicts<\/li>\n<li>Damaged system files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Fix the DISM Error 1392 on Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>One of the solutions in this article will help you resolve the issue for good. You have to follow the solutions as they are arranged to fix the problem as fast as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Temporarily disable your antivirus program<\/h3>\n<p>Your antivirus program could be erroneously blocking some system files because it suspects them of being security risks. When this happens, the files in question become unreadable, causing DISM to display the error message. Temporarily disable your protection program, then run the command to check if the issue persists.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find out how to disable major antivirus programs below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Windows Security<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use the <code>Windows + I<\/code> keyboard shortcut to launch the <em>Settings<\/em> application.<\/li>\n<li>When the home page of <em>Settings<\/em> comes up, click on the <em>Update &amp; Security<\/em> icon.<br \/>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/update-security-icon.png\" alt=\"Use the Windows + I keyboard shortcut to launch the Settings application.Open the Settings app. When the home page of Settings comes up, click on the Update &amp; Security icon.\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/li>\n<li>Once the <em>Update &amp; Security<\/em> page shows up, go to the left pane and click on <em>Windows Security<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>After that, navigate to the right side of the window and click on <em>Virus &amp; Threat Protection<\/em> under <em>Protection Areas.<\/em><br \/>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/virus-threat-protection.png\" alt=\"Once the Update &amp; Security page shows up, go to the left pane and click on Windows Security.Go to Windows Security.
