Addressing the 0x80070002 Error: Missing File Issue in Windows Server 2022

Here are diverse approaches to rectify the error code 0x80070002: File not found in Windows Server 2022:

  1. Verify the file path: Confirm the accuracy of the file path and the existence of the file at the indicated location. If absent, attempt to recover it from a backup or reinstall the associated application.
  2. Utilize System File Checker (SFC): SFC, an integral utility in Windows, inspects and mends damaged system files. Launch Command Prompt with administrative privileges, enter 'sfc /scannow,' and press Enter. Allow the scan to finish and then reboot the server.
  3. Update the server: Ensure your server has the latest Windows updates and security patches. Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, search for updates, install any that are available, and then restart the server.
  4. Examine the disk for errors: Execute the CHKDSK command to inspect the disk for issues. Open Command Prompt as an administrator, type 'chkdsk /f /r,' and hit Enter. This will check and rectify any disk errors. Reboot the server once the scan concludes.
  5. Temporarily disable antivirus software: Antivirus programs can sometimes disrupt system files and lead to errors. Temporarily deactivate your antivirus to see if the issue continues.
  6. Initiate a clean boot: Performing a clean boot starts Windows with only essential drivers and programs, aiding in pinpointing and resolving potential software conflicts. Access Start > Run, enter 'msconfig,' and press Enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Services tab, tick the 'Hide all Microsoft services' checkbox, click 'Disable all,' and reboot the server.
