    What do I do when I'm getting "parameter is incorrect" messages everywhere no matter what I do?


    I recently just did a system restore on my laptop which caused a lot of things to go left and I'm unsure why. One of the main issues being that with everything I do there's a notice telling me that the "parameter is incorrect". I can't open my device manager, run admin, open downloads, and many more things. When I find advice online to potentially resolve these issues I still run into "parameter is incorrect" while following the steps. I'm totally frustrated and I can hardly enjoy using my laptop anymore. Any suggestions. Should I bring it to a repair shop or something. I don't know.

    :)

    parameter is incorrect

    On Windows 10 when I try to create a list of all files of a particular type, I get this message during the search: "The parameter is incorrect."

    I have run chkdsk and sfc and find no problems. It happens more frequently when the drive being searched is an external USB drive, but also happens on the local disk. There is no explanation of *what* parameter is incorrect.

    Creation of the list (a txt file) completes, with no appearance of the error messge... but I don't know if all files were found or not. Typically, this message is given when I search for a filetype of which I know there are more than 100... with the rate being
    about twice per hundred files.
    Example of the searches:

    dir *.css /S>_allCSS.txt

    dir *.html /S>_allHTML.txt
    Over the weekend I tried this on 14 different systems, with different external drives. Same result. Oddly (maybe?), no such message is given when running the search on a NAS drive (tried 2 different ones), but the search takes considerably longer on the
    NAS drives.

    Does anybody know what causes this bizarre detail-free error message?

    Any assistance greatly appreciated!

    Bitlocker - The parameter is incorrect


    I have one data drive that is Bitlocker protected and it has always worked fine. Now it seems to unlock, but when I try to access the drive I get "The parameter is incorrect". The am running Windows 10 Pro 1607 14393.105.

    Does anyone have any suggestions before I pull out the drive and try it in another machine?
