    Error: The data area passed to a system call is too small


    Hello, I'm running the newest Windows 10 update, but I have been having this problem off and on for months when I try to open shared files on OneDrive or files saved to my computer. A file that was opening without issue hours before will suddenly have this error: "the data area passed to a system call is too small", and sometimes it will magically fix itself without me fiddling around with it and open with no issues the next day. This happens to all file formats on my computer, from .pdf, to .jpeg, to excel sheets and AutoCAD. This error happens on the only 2 computers in my off

    The data area passed to a system call is too small

    Hi Steve,

    "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error message can be caused by certain system configuration parameters. To give you a heads up, problems involving SQL servers has it's own dedicated forum. However, you may try to follow the instructions
    provided on the support article below on how to resolve this problem:

    FIX: "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error
    when you start a Desktop Bridge application on a SQL Server 2014, 2016, and 2017

    If the issue persist after performing the steps on the above link, it'll be best if you redirect this query to the
    Windows Technet forums - IT Pro for Windows 10, as the audience in that forum is
    more geared towards the ins and outs of SQL servers related problems. Hence, they will be better to provide more answers to your query.

    Best regards.
