Fixing the Error Code 0X0
Once the problem has been identified, it’s time to apply the solution. When you search on Google, different versions of solutions may pop up which creates confusion if you are not much aware of computer tech. Here we explain one of the most common solutions opted for by many users.
Run system file checker (SFC)
Running the SFC tool has helped fix the Error 0x0 problem for several users. The process is a built-in feature in the Windows OS that scans the entire file system for corrupted or damaged files. Once detected, the files will be removed.
- Go to Start and type cmd
- Right-click Command prompt and select the “Run as administrator” option
- Click Yes on the popup box shown
- Type “SFC/scannow” and hit Enter key
The process will calculate the total disk space, begin scanning and will clear the errors. Close the windows once completed and reboot your system. This should solve the error on the very first try. However, instead of scanning the entire hard drive/SSD, you can choose to clean individual drives.
This is done via the disk cleanup tool. The process will scan the selected drive chosen by the user and shows a list of files & their data. The user can manually select the ones to delete. After the process is over, close the command prompt window and perform a restart. This should fix the error. Follow the steps described below:
- Type cmd on the start menu
- Right-click the Command prompt and click “Run as administrator”
- Click Yes on the popup box shown
- Type ‘cleanmgr’ and press Enter key
- Select the preferred drive
- Choose the files you want to delete
