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

There are several ways to solve the error code 0x80070002: File not found in Windows Server 2022:

  1. Check the file path: Make sure that the file path is correct and the file exists in the specified location. If the file is missing, try to restore it from a backup or reinstall the software that uses the file.
  2. Run System File Checker (SFC): SFC is a built-in tool in Windows that scans and repairs corrupted system files. To run SFC, open Command Prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" and press Enter. Wait for the scan to complete and restart the server.
  3. Check for updates: Make sure that the server is up-to-date with the latest Windows updates and patches. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates. Install any available updates and restart the server.
  4. Check the disk for errors: Use the CHKDSK command to check the disk for errors. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type "chkdsk /f /r" and press Enter. This will scan and repair any errors on the disk. Restart the server after the scan is complete.
  5. Disable antivirus software: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with system files and cause errors. Try disabling the antivirus software temporarily and see if the error persists.
  6. Perform a clean boot: A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help identify and resolve software conflicts that may be causing the error. To perform a clean boot, go to Start > Run and type "msconfig" and press Enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Services tab and check the "Hide all Microsoft services" box. Then, click "Disable all" and restart the server.
