There could be thousands of Win32 error codes in Windows. Do you know what they mean? In this post, MiniTool introduces some of the Win32 error codes and you can also learn how to fix them if you encounter with Win32 error codes.
Have you ever encountered some Win 32 error codes when you are working on your Windows?
What Is the Win32 Error Code
Win32 error codes can be found both in 16-bit fields and 32-bit fields. And every value has a default message defined, which can be understood by Windows users.
For example, if you see Win 32 error code 5, it means access is denied, which is possible to lead to troubles running programs or saving its data. So, Win32 error code is also known as a message identifier.
The common usage details of some Win32 error codes are provided in this article. You can check the values and corresponding meanings if Win32 error codes appear on your Windows.
1. Win32 error code 0:
- This error is also named error code 0x0 and ERROR_SUCCESS.

The Consequences of Win32 Error Codes
The consequences of Win32 error codes are depended on the specific description. For example, when you are working on a remote computer and error code 1115 appears, you could not shut down the computer remotely.
Besides, there are some common situations which may be caused by Win32 error codes.
- Stop you from some operations. Once Win32 error codes appear, you may fail to finish the operation you are working on.
- Affect computer’s performance. Win32 error codes often come with dialog windows which may have an influence on the performance of your PC and slow down the computer.
- Result in abrupt system restart, crash, Blue Screen of Death(BSOD) and system trash. Some of Win32 error codes which appear when you update your Windows may cause your Windows shutdown suddenly or you are asked to restart your Windows, or even you will meet BSOD.
How to Avoid Win32 Error Codes
There could be thousands of Win32 error codes and some are inevitable. The specific reasons of Win32 error codes are hard to find out, but you can try the following ways to avoid Win32 error codes and protect your computer from data loss due to Win32 error codes.
Trick 1: Run Windows Defender Regularly
Viruses attack could be a reason for some of the Win32 error codes. To protect your computer in advance, you can Run Windows Defender regularly.
Step 1: Type Task Scheduler in Search box and then click Task Scheduler App to open it.
Step 2: Go to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Defender.
Step 3: Right-click “Windows Defender Scheduled Scan” and choose Properties.
Step 4: Add a new trigger for the task and specify the time to run Windows Defender scan according to your needs. Then click OK to save the changes you have made.
If you don’t know how to add a new trigger in Task Scheduler, you can read the following article: Free Ways to Schedule a Scan in Windows Defender Antivirus.
Once it’s done, the chance of Win32 error codes could be reduced.
Trick 2: Back up Data Just in Case
Once a Win32 error code happens to you, you may need to update or even reinstall Windows to fix the problem. To protect your important files and programs, you are recommended to back up them from now on.

How to Fix Win32 Errors
If you meet Win32 error codes when you are running some programs, the direct way to fix the problems is to solve the corresponding hardware or software issues which is described in the error.
Here are some examples.
- For Win32 error code 0x20 — “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”, you can close the file with Task Manager and then access it again to fix it.
- For Win32 error code 39 — “The disk is full”, you can free up the diskor choose another location to fix the problem.
- For Win32 error code 1005 — “The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Be sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted”, you can check file system or change file system to solve it.
In a word, you need to read the description carefully and find the ways to fix the error.
In addition, there are common ways which are effective for most Win32 error codes, and you can try them one by one if you encounter a Win32 error code.
Solution 1: Update Windows
When your computer gets a Win32 error code message, the application on which the error occurs will stop working and you will be unable to use the function on your computer.
You can try restarting Windows to fix the problem. If it doesn’t work, you need to install any updates that may be available for your system.
Step 1: Press Win + I to open Settings and click Update & Security.
Step 2: In Windows Update section, click Check for updates.
Then Windows will check and install the available updates automatically. Once it’s done, you can restart your PC and check if the error is solved.
Solution 2: Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
Windows Troubleshooter is a built-in program, which can find and fix many errors on Windows. If you have the problem about Win32 error code, you can try to run Troubleshooter to solve it.
You have to go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Then select Run the troubleshooter in the problematic hardware and device, which will make the program scan your PC to find issues and solve them automatically.
Solution 3: Run System File Checker
You can also use Microsoft’s System File Checker to check whether there is any system file corruption when Win32 error codes appear.
You just need to run command prompt as administrator and then type sfc /scannow. Then wait for the scanning process to complete and then restart your computer. All corrupted files will be replaced on reboot.
Solution 4: Check for Bad Sectors
Bad Sectors may lead to data retrieval issues. If you get a Win32 error code, you can check for bad sectors to fix it. Download and install MiniTool Partiiton Wizard by clicking the button below.

If you are a user experiencing difficulty with your computer either during or after installing or uninstalling an application, you should contact customer support for the software you are trying to install or remove. If you feel you are in need of support for a Microsoft product, please go to our technical support site at support.microsoft.com.
These error codes are returned by the Windows Installer functions MsiExec.exe and InstMsi.exe. Note that any error in Winerror.h (such as ERROR_INVALID_DATA, included here) can be returned as well. For more error codes returned by the Windows Installer, see Windows Installer Error Messages.
The error codes ERROR_SUCCESS, ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_INITIATED, and ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED are indicative of success. If ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED is returned, the installation completed successfully but a reboot is required to complete the installation operation.
