Fix Error 740 - Elevated Permissions are required to run DISM on Windows (2024 updated)

Here's how to Fix Error 740 - Elevated Permissions are required to run DISM on Windows.

Error 740 is a Windows error message that occurs when you try to run a command in the Command Prompt that requires elevated permissions. This can happen if you are not logged in as an administrator or if you have not enabled UAC (User Account Control).

To fix Error 740, you need to run the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Start menu.
2. Type "cmd" in the search bar.
3. Right-click on the "Command Prompt" app and select "Run as administrator."
4. Click on the "Yes" button to confirm.

Once the Command Prompt is open, you should be able to run commands that require elevated permissions without any problems.

Here are some other things you can try if you are still getting Error 740:

* Make sure that you are logged in as an administrator.
* Enable UAC. To do this, open Control Panel and go to "System and Security." Click on "Windows Security" and then click on "Change User Account Control settings." Move the slider to the "More secure" position.
* Repair or reinstall DISM. To repair DISM, open an elevated Command Prompt and type the following command:

```
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
```

To reinstall DISM, download the latest DISM installation package from the Microsoft website and run the installer.

* If you are still having problems, you can try creating a new user account and logging in as that user. If you can run the command without any problems, then there is a problem with your current user account. You can try to fix the problem by repairing or reinstalling Windows.
