Please help me

Can't open Pictures or Video files after update - file system error (-2147219196)

Exact same issue here after update this weekend.

All of my pictures have file system error 2147219196 no matter what program I choose to open, default or otherwise.

• Is the issue happening on apps only or is it also happening with programs installed on your computer?

No apps, this is a desktop PC. Pictures include new ones taken today and legacy ones going back decades.

• Have you tested if is this also happening on other user profiles?

Only one profile on my PC, the Admin one

• Are the files that you tried to open launch on other devices such as a different laptop or a mobile device?

Yes open fine on mobile phone. Also these opened for me on this machine perfectly before this last update.

Trying sfc /scannow as a fix... did not fix. Awaiting help please.

File System Error when opening pictures

Thank you for your response. I suggest that you use the System File Checker tool to scan your system files and to repair missing or corrupted system files. The sfc/scannow command
(System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed or damaged versions with the correct versions possible. You may refer to this link for
more information.



If the issue persists even after using System File Checker tool, please follow the steps below to run the
DISM tool:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select the Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, enter the following commands (Press the Enter key after each command):
  

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and press Enter.
• 
  Restart the machine.
  

Regards.
