Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Check WMI Service:</strong> Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:</p> </li> <li>Press <code>Win + R</code> to open the Run dialog.</li> <li>Type <code>services.msc</code> and press Enter.</li> <li>Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.</li> <li> <p>Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Check for Security Software Interference:</strong> Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Event Viewer:</strong> Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the <code>80041031</code> error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.</p> </li> <li> <p>Press <code>Win + X</code> and select "Event Viewer."</p> </li> <li>Navigate to "Windows Logs" -&gt; "Application" or "System."</li> <li> <p>Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>ISO File Integrity:</strong> Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.</p> </li> <li> <p>If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.</p> </li> </ul> <aside class=md-source-file> <span class=md-source-file__fact> <span class=md-icon title="Last update"> <svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M21 13.1c-.1 0-.3.1-.4.2l-1 1 2.1 2.1 1-1c.2-.2.2-.6 0-.8l-1.3-1.3c-.1-.1-.2-.2-.4-.2m-1.9 1.8-6.1 6V23h2.1l6.1-6.1-2.1-2M12.5 7v5.2l4 2.4-1 1L11 13V7h1.5M11 21.9c-5.1-.5-9-4.8-9-9.9C2 6.5 6.5 2 12 2c5.3 0 9.6 4.1 10 9.3-.3-.1-.6-.2-1-.2s-.7.1-1 .2C19.6 7.2 16.2 4 12 4c-4.4 0-8 3.6-8 8 0 4.1 3.1 7.5 7.1 7.9l-.1.2v1.8Z"/></svg> </span> <span class="git-revision-date-localized-plugin git-revision-date-localized-plugin-date">August 8, 2024</span> </span> </aside> </article> </div> <script>var tabs=__md_get("__tabs");if(Array.isArray(tabs))e:for(var set of document.querySelectorAll(".tabbed-set")){var tab,labels=set.querySelector(".tabbed-labels");for(tab of tabs)for(var label of labels.getElementsByTagName("label"))if(label.innerText.trim()===tab){var input=document.getElementById(label.htmlFor);input.checked=!0;continue e}}</script> <script>var target=document.getElementById(location.hash.slice(1));target&&target.name&&(target.checked=target.name.startsWith("__tabbed_"))</script> </div> <button type=button class="md-top md-icon" data-md-component=top hidden> <svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M13 20h-2V8l-5.5 5.5-1.42-1.42L12 4.16l7.92 7.92-1.42 1.42L13 8v12Z"/></svg> Back to top </button> </main> </div> <div class=md-dialog data-md-component=dialog> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id=__config type=application/json>{"base": "..", "features": ["navigation.tabs", "navigation.sections", "toc.integrate", "navigation.top", "search.suggest", "search.highlight", "content.tabs.link", "content.code.annotation", "content.code.copy"], "search": "../assets/javascripts/workers/search.b8dbb3d2.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searchin
