File system error(-2147163890)

I am getting this error message when I attempt to open an image: File system error(-2147163890).

 

File system error (-2147163890) even after OS Repair Upgrade (Win 11 22H2)

Hello, I am having this problem on Windows 11 22H2 where I ...

• cannot open files with microsoft apps (e.g. opening jpg files with photo or paint)
  
  • Error massage "File system error (-2147163890)"
    
• cannot open programs downloaded from microsoft store (e.g. cannot open amazon music, spotify)
  
  • Nothing happens when clicking icon
    
• cannot download programs from microsoft (e.g. cannot installing spotify though microsoft store)
  
  • Pending->Downloading->Acquiring license->Something happened on our end->Retry
    
• cannot open windows defender dash board
  
  • Nothing happens when clicking icon
    

I searched the web and tried various options to solve this issue but none of them worked. I listed things that I have tried

• Run sfc /scannow with powershell admin
  
  • There was repair in log
    
  • No issue second time
    
• Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth with powershell admin
  
  • No issue
    
• Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth with powershell admin
  
  • No issue
    
• Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth with powershell admin
  
  • No issue
    
• Try safeboot
  
• Error Checking C:drive
  
  • There was an issue but it was fixed
    
  • No issue second time
    
• Windows memory diagnostic
  
  • No issue
    
• In - place upgrade/repair upgrade
  
  • Tried both with and without optional update
    
• Made a second account on the device
  
  • Downloaded an image from the internet and tried opening it with photo
    
  • same error "File system error (-2147163890)"
    
• Use troubleshooter for microsoft stores
  
  • claimes no issue found
    
• Use repair, reset, terminate function from settings->apps->installed apps
  

The only option that I can think of is clean install of Windows, which i want to avoid if possible.

Also, not sure if this is relevant, but I found "Account Unknown" followed by numbers in parenthesis under Cdrive properties->Security->Groups or user names

Does anyone know other solutions to this problem I am having? I will try to answer questions regarding specific installed cumulative updates if necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Hi GinkoWeed,

My name is Marc, thanks for participating in the Microsoft Community, I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Press Windows key + X >> PowerShell (Run as administrator) >> Copy and paste, using the mouse button >> Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ AppXManifest.xml”
+ Enter, restart the computer (Recommended), and check again.

If the previous step does not work, start Windows with a clean boot, it is an error-proof process, because it isolates third-party programs, drivers, to detect if it is the cause of the problem.

To complement the previous step, we can scan the computer for corrupt files that interfere with Windows processes, if they are detected, they will be automatically repaired.

If the error persists, please share it exactly as you see it, in case you missed something

Let me know if you have something else that I can help you with, I'd be happy to help.

Happy New Year

Regards,

Marc M.
