Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.
1] Modify the Error Mode registry key value
Since this is a registry operation, it is recommended that you back up the registry or create a system restore point as necessary precautionary measures. Once done, you can proceed as follows:
- Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.
- In the Run dialog box, type regedit and hit Enter to open Registry Editor.
- Navigate or jump to the registry key path below:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Windows
- At the location, on the right pane, double-click the Error Mode key to edit its properties.
- In the properties windows, set the Base to Hexadecimal and the Value data to 0.
- Click OK to save the changes.
- Exit the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
On boot, perform the action that triggered the message and see if the error appears again.
2] Disable/Uninstall 3rd party security software (if applicable)
This issue might also occur due to some kind of 3rd party interference. This issue might also occur due to an overprotective AV/firewall suite that recently quarantined some system file items due to a false positive. In this case, to fix this issue, you’ll have to remove all third-party antivirus programs from your PC using the dedicated removal tool to remove all files associated with your antivirus program.
3] Run DISM scan
If you have system file errors, you may encounter the error.
The DISM is a utility in Windows that allows users to repair a potentially corrupted system image. You can run this DISM utility and see if the issue is resolved or not.
4] Re-register the DLL file (if applicable)
If this error prompt shows that the affected files are the DLL files, you can try to re-register the mentioned DLL file and see if that resolves the issue.
I hope this helps!
