Trying to run Win10 Pro DISM
Following error message:
: Error 126 DISM could not be initialized in the local folder. ensure that dism is installed correctly and that all of the binaries are present
DISM was working fine, now I cannot execute. Any ideas on how to enable DISM.
No viruses, Dism.exe is in the system32 folder, just will not load from administrator command prompt.
Thanks
Douglas

Can you please provide what DISM command you are trying? Does just DISM on is own work? DISM on its own would normally give the information screen.
Just wondering have you tried sfc /SCANNOW to see if that helps? Perhaps this page System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot (guide by Team ZigZag) may help.

About this issue, I suggest you download the official installation resource and then do In-place upgrade to fix the whole system file.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:win:D:\sources\install.win:1 /limitaccess
D Drive is the DVD Drive or the mounted ISO file
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:C:\sources\install.esd:1 /limitaccess
Error 126
Run Dism as noted above: Error 126 DISM could not be initialized in the local folder. ensure that dism is installed correctly and that all of the binaries are present

Why are you trying the DISM what issues are you facing?
Cannot suggest any further fixes for the DISM error, so either a repair reinstall as Karen_Hu suggests or a Reset or reinstall (would need to backup all you data and have you apps to reinstall if a reset or full reinstall was done).
