Now that we have gone over every potential reason why you might experience this problem let’s go over a series of confirmed fixes that other Windows 10 and Windows 11 users have successfully used to get rid of the ‘The WOF driver encountered corruption in the compressed file’s Resource Table’ error when running a DISM scan. If the issue only recently began to manifest, follow the steps below to conduct a Disk Cleanup scan and delete all redundant system files.
Corrupted temporary files – If you haven’t already, you should try using the Disk Cleanup tool to remove any unwanted DirectX Shader Cache, Delivery Optimization Files, Temporary Internet Files, or Downloaded Program Files that can cause Windows 11 to malfunction during DISM scans. You may probably completely prevent the issue and fix the error by rolling your PC back to a working condition using System Restore to go back in time. Recent system change – Following a recent system change, you may anticipate dealing with this problem, according to multiple affected individuals (like installing an infrastructure update, a driver update, or a cleanup procedure performed by an antivirus). If this is the case, you may fix the problem by restarting every WU component involved in the upgrade process. Corrupted WU component – Most of the time, this type of issue is caused by one or more WU (Windows Update) components that are now dormant (i.e., neither open nor closed). The problem should be resolved by running the Windows Update Troubleshooter and applying the recommended patch.
Common WU Inconsistency – If the SFC scan above didn’t resolve the problem for you, you should look into any potential WU component issues.You can also try deploying clean install or repair install procedures or going for an in-place upgrade.
System File corruption – If the DISM scan is not functioning as it should and throws the error each time you initiate the scan, your first action should be to deploy a System File Checker (SFC) scan to attempt to treat the issue locally.
