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

Addressing the error code 0x80070002: File not found in Windows Server 2022 can be approached through several methods:

1. Verify the file location: Ensure the file's path is accurate and that it indeed exists where expected. If absent, consider recovering it from backup or reinstalling the associated application.
2. Utilise System File Checker (SFC): SFC is an integrated utility in Windows that checks for and mends damaged system files. To employ SFC, launch Command Prompt as administrator, input 'sfc /scannow', and hit Enter. Allow the scan to finish before rebooting the server.
3. Update the system: Confirm that your server is equipped with the newest Windows updates and patches. Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to check for and install any pending updates, then reboot the server.
4. Scan the disk for issues: Execute the CHKDSK command to identify and fix disk errors. Open Command Prompt as administrator, type 'chkdsk /f /r', and press Enter. Reboot the server following the completion of the scan.
5. Deactivate antivirus software: At times, antivirus programs may disrupt system files leading to errors. Temporarily disable your antivirus to see if the issue continues.
6. Initiate a clean boot: Performing a clean boot will start Windows with only essential drivers and startup programs, aiding in the identification and rectification of software conflicts that might be causing the error. To execute a clean boot, go to 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 restart the server.
