Hello everybody!
In this video, I’m going to show you how to fix file system error 2147219196.
This error often appears when people are trying to open a photo or video, but you may also
face it when starting an application.
If you suddenly encounter this problem and wonder how to fix it, watch this video to
see several methods to get things right.
The peculiarity of this bug is that there is no solution that works in every case, and
what helps one user may not work for another.
How
to get access to the folder Windows Apps in Windows 10
The first method to try is to get access to the folder Windows Apps for the current user.
In other words, you need to get owner’s rights for this folder.
This method is also good if the operating system says “You have been denied permission
to access this folder.”
Watch a special video on our YouTube channel about taking ownership of a file or folder;
find the link in the description.
First, follow the path C:\Program Files and find the folder Windows Apps.
If you don’t see it there, your computer may have the option to display hidden folders
disabled.
To find out, click “View” and check if the option for “Hidden items” is enabled.
If it isn’t, check the box and the folder should appear.
Right-click on the folder and select “Properties.”
In the window that opens, click on the “Security” tab and then choose “Advanced” to open
the advanced security settings window.
In the “Owner” line click “Change.”
In this window, enter your account name and click “Check names”, then “OK.”
After the changes are applied you’ll have to restart the computer.
In most cases, the problem should be fixed, but if this method failed in your particular
case, try the next one.
Re-registration of apps in Windows 10
The second method is about resetting all your applications.
To do it, start “Windows PowerShell” as administrator.
You can find it by right-clicking on the Start menu.
Then, type and run the following commands one by one:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”
-Verbose }
reg delete “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TileDataModel\Migration\TileStore”
/va /f
get-appxpackage -packageType bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation
+ “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
$bundlefamilies = (get-appxpackage -packagetype Bundle).packagefamilyname
You can find all commands in the description under the video.
Some of them may take a long time to perform, so you will have to wait until all operations
are accomplished.
You will have to restart the computer after these commands are performed, and also you
may need to reinstall the Photos app from Microsoft Store.
You can find it in the Start menu, or by typing “Photos” in the search field, and just
install it again.
If you encountered this error when opening a photo and resetting applications didn’t
help you, you can try replacing the new “Photos” app with the classic “Windows Photo Viewer”.
To do it, you should type several commands, or run a ready-made .reg file - and you can
find the link to this file below the video.
After the changes have been applied, just right-click on the photo and select “Open
with” > “Choose another app” and select the one you like from the list.
This archive will also contain a special .reg file to cancel the changes you have made.
Another possible cause of this error is poor integrity of the system files or infection
by viruses or other malware.
Check the links in the description to find out how to check system files for integrity,
and how to scan your PC for viruses and remove them.
Reset your PC
If all these methods failed, your only option is to bring your computer back to its original
condition.
Yet before you do that, it’s worth checking for available updates and install the latest
one - it can also help to fix the problem.
The most reliable way to get rid of the file system error is by resetting the computer.
You can watch one of our videos to learn more about it, and you can find the link in the
description as always.
Go to Settings / Update and Security / Recovery, and then click on “Get started.”
This method is also good for fixing other problems related to the work of your computer’s
operating system.
This way you can save your files and then just reinstall Windows.
When the process is over, you will get a clean operating system.
