How to resolve error code 0x80070002: File not found in Windows Server 2022

Various strategies exist for addressing the error code 0x80070002 in Windows Server 2022:

  1. Verify the file location: Ensure the file path is accurate and that the file is present in the designated area. If absent, consider recovering it from backup or reinstalling the relevant application.
  2. Utilize System File Checker (SFC): SFC is a utility in Windows that checks for and fixes corrupt system files. To use it, open Command Prompt as an administrator, enter 'sfc /scannow,' and hit Enter. Allow the scan to finish and then reboot the server.
  3. Update the system: Confirm that your server has the latest Windows updates and patches by navigating to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Apply any pending updates and reboot the server.
  4. Examine the disk for issues: Employ the CHKDSK tool to search for and rectify disk errors. Launch Command Prompt as an administrator, type 'chkdsk /f /r,' and press Enter. After the scan, restart the server.
  5. Temporarily disable antivirus: Antivirus programs can sometimes disrupt system files and lead to issues. Deactivate your antivirus briefly to check if the problem continues.
  6. Initiate a clean boot: Performing a clean boot will start Windows with only essential drivers and programs, which can help pinpoint and solve software conflicts. To execute a clean boot, go to Start > Run, type 'msconfig,' and press Enter. In the System Configuration window, choose the Services tab, select 'Hide all Microsoft services,' click 'Disable all,' and restart the server.
