How to Fix the DISM Error 1726?

Fix 1: Change Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service Settings

Fix 2: Modify the RpcSs Registry Key

Another method to enable the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is via Registry Editor. If the last fix can’t work, you can try this one.

Step 3: Select RpcSs and double-click Start from the right panel to type 2 in Value data and click OK to save it.

After that, you can close the window and try the DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command to check if the error 1726 persists.

Fix 3: Temporarily Disable the Windows Search Service

Step 1: Open Run and input services.msc to enter.

Step 2: Locate and double-click on Windows Search and then in the General tab, choose Stop to disable the service temporarily.

You can go running the DISM command again; if the error is triggered by the Windows Search service, then the error can be fixed. After the DISM scan, you can restart the Windows Search service.
