DISM error 183

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool that is used to mount and service Windows images before deployment. You can use DISM image management commands to mount and get information about Windows image (. wim) files or virtual hard disks (VHD). In this guide, we shall discuss how to Fix Error 183: The specified image is currently being serviced by another DISM operation. Please see how to Add Registry Keys via DISM in Windows, and How to remove OneDrive from Windows.

Here are some related errors you will come across when modifying Windows Image. How to fix error 0xc1510114: The wim file needs to be remounted. See error 0x80070002: When trying to mount an image file. Also, see error code 15601: How to resolve DISM unspecified error when removing preinstalled packages,

Why was this error prompted?

When you execute the DISM command to install the application or perform other DISM-related command-line tasks. It triggers “Error 183: The specified image is currently being serviced.

Error message indicating that a DISM operation cannot be completed because another DISM task is currently in progress. Instructions to wait for the existing operation and check the DISM log file location are provided.
