Resolving Error Code 0x80070002: Missing File Issue on Windows Server 2022

Various methods exist to address the error code 0x80070002, indicating a missing file in Windows Server 2022:

  1. Verify file path accuracy: Ensure the path to the file is correctly entered and that the file is present at the designated location. If absent, consider restoring from a backup or reinstalling the associated application.
  2. Utilise System File Checker (SFC): SFC, a utility within Windows, checks and mends corrupted files. Launch Command Prompt with administrator rights, input 'sfc /scannow,' and hit Enter. After the scan, reboot the server.
  3. Update your server: Confirm your server is updated with the latest Windows patches. Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, search for updates, install any found, and then reboot the server.
  4. Run disk error checks: Execute the CHKDSK command to identify and fix disk errors. Start Command Prompt as administrator, type 'chkdsk /f /r,' press Enter, and restart the server post-scan.
  5. Temporarily disable antivirus: Antivirus programs can sometimes block system files leading to errors. Deactivate your antivirus briefly to check if the issue continues.
  6. Initiate a clean boot: Starting with a minimal set of drivers and programs can help pinpoint software clashes causing the error. Access 'msconfig' via Start > Run, in System Configuration, select the Services tab, tick 'Hide all Microsoft services,' click 'Disable all,' and restart the server.
