The `/LimitAccess` switch in a DISM command prevents the tool from contacting Windows Update for repair content. When you're using a specific local source (like a mounted ISO with `/Source`), `/LimitAccess` ensures that DISM only uses the files provided from that local source. This is particularly useful when the online Windows Update service itself is part of the problem or when you want to ensure the repair is done from a trusted, known-good offline source without network interference.
