error #0xc0000022

Hi, MichaelNedbalek!

I have some suggestions that can help you fixing the error "0xc0000022":

Fix #1: Check for permission issues

If the 0xc0000022 is trigged by a specific application and you’re able to identify which application was it, check for its permission configuration to make sure they are set correctly.

To do so, follow these steps:

1- Right-click on the application that triggered the error. This can either be the shortcut on your Desktop or the .exe file of the application installed, available in My Computer.

2- Choose Properties

3- Go to the Security tab

4- Change permissions for all the Administrators, Power Users and System to Allow Full Control

5- Click Apply

Fix #2: Check for DLLs with accessibility issues

If the error is caused by a DLL file, you can identify which file triggered this error by installing and running the Process Monitor tool from Microsoft:

1- Download and run the Process Monitor tool

2- Run the application that triggered the 0xc0000022 error

3- Wait for the error to appear

4- Click File

5- Select Capture Events

6- Select Filter (or you can press the CTRL and L keys) to open Processs Monitor Filter

7- Filter out all the lines that don’t belong to the application that caused this error

8- Search for events with the result column as ACCESS DENIED

Once you’ve identified the DLL file with ACCESS DENIED, follow these steps:

1- Go to the folder where the application that caused this error is installed

2- Right-click on the DLL file

3- Select Properties

4- Go to the Security tab

5- Click Continue

6- Click Add

7- At Enter the object names to select, type users

8- Click Check Names and then OK

9- Set the access levels for the new added user to Read & Execute and Read access

Fix #3: Scan for corrupt files

The sfc utility allows you to scan your hard disk for potential corrupt files that might trigger the 0xc0000022 error.

Follow these steps to run this tool:

1- Click Start

2- Type cmd in the search box

3- Right-click on the Command Prompt result and select Run as Administrator

4- Type: sfc /scannow

5- Press Enter

If you’re unable to boot into Windows, you can try to run sfc from Safe Mode or through Easy Recovery Essentials.

To boot your computer into Safe Mode, follow these steps:

1- Remove any peripherals from your computer and restart your computer

2- Press F8 before the Windows logo appears

3- Select Safe Mode using the arrows keys and press Enter

Fix #4: Disable firewall or antivirus

If none of these solutions fixed the error, try to disable your antivirus software and your firewall software to determine if the error is caused by either a firewall or by an antivirus program.

I really hope the error has been fixed by one of those methods. Anyway, I´m here to try to help you again, if you want!

Wish you the best,
