Windows 10: Some Buttons in Start Menu have File system error (-2144926975)

My Genuine OS Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 1803 has File system error (-2144926975) when I click Start Menu then click these buttons:

1. Documents
2. Downloads
3. Pictures
4. Music
5. Videos

*Except: File Explorer button works just fine in Start Menu.


This error happens after I used Windows Repair Software.


I did all kind of these commands but nothing works:

1. CHKDSK
2. SFC
3. DISM

I also did add a New User Account, but it has a same error.

What should I do? Should I reset my Windows 10? Please help...

Thanks.

:)

 

File system error -2144926975

Sorry about the late response!

So Aside from the games, it also happens when I type in user profiles in the search bar to pull up the settings menu for it. It immediately pulls up that error message I posted a screenshot for.

It was also doing this when I couldn't access the windows store, so I gave up after a while. Then when I was trying to update netflix, the store came up and when I was trying to update netflix, it would say that it had been updated, but when I start the netflix
app, it says that an update is required, gives an option to update, but then just closes netflix without doing anything.

As for the build version, I'm using 1607 (OS Build 14393.693)

- I have tried to roll back the drive using restore, but when I try to use it, I get the file system error -2144926975.

- I tried System File check several times and it reports no errors.

- (When dealing with the Windows store issue) I winreset.exe

- Multiple virus scans

- Error checking with check disk utility and it says that there was no errors found.

 

WIndows 10 file system error (-2144926975)

Hello,

I'm I recently downloaded a zip file from Microsoft. Sysinternals suite.zip. I unzipped it to its own directory in the download folder, now when I try to access it I get a runtimebroker.exe error with the following file system error (-2144926975).
I'm thinking it *maybe* a permissions problem. Permissions have been a nightmare for a few applications and services especially DCOM....... UPDATE, I'm almost certain that it is a problem with Cortana. When searching for the zip file through Cortana, it will
not pull up the directory where the file is located, but if i go to the file using file explorer it all loads as it should.

 

Windows 10 Start Menu File Explorer button error "Windows cannot access the specified device ..."

Hi All,

I have a strange error with windows start menu today! Please check the attached two images:

Notes (before reproducing steps):

• My laptop is up without restart for 11 days till now, I am a software engineer.
• I have ended the explorer processes and relaunched it from the task manager.
• File Explorer button in the start menu opens "This PC".
• I can open the Explorer normally by
  • Menu Button + E
  • File Explorer pinned to the taskbar
• 
  I can't open the File Explorer by Start Menu > File Explorer Button
  
• 
  I don't want to restart, I have a lot of work on other desktops, restart solves this problem. Obviously, it is a bug.
  

Steps to reproduce the error:

• open the start menu
• click on file explorer button
  • an error message appears with "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".

Step 1:





Step 2 & result:





Steps were taken trying to resolve the issue:

• I tried to restart the explorer process from task manager, but with no success.
• I tried to replace the shortcut the file explorer button points at, but still with no hope.
• I checked the permissions of the "explorer.exe" process in "Windows" folder, and I have the correct permissions. I even tried to double click the file "explorer.exe" and it normally opened the explorer without a problem!

I guess it is a problem with the File Explorer button itself in the start menu (A GUI problem), maybe a corrupted registry key!
