One of the many errors and issues that impact the Windows operating system is the scanning error 0xc00ce556. Scan error 0xc00ce556 may appear when you try to install or open a program, or when you basically start your computer and open your desktop. Scan error 0xC00CE556 is not only intrusive, but it can also prevent you from performing various tools on your computer. Thus, it requires repair. Here are two solutions you can use to get rid of scan error 0xC00CE556: Scan error 0xC00CE556 is an error message that says:
Error parsing C: Windows Microsoft.Net Framework v2.0.50727 Config machine.config Parser returned error 0xC00CE556
Replace corrupted machine.config file with default one
The error occurs when Windows tries to scan the machine.config file and is unable to scan it due to a corrupted file. Basically replace the machine.config file with the default one. This is how you can fix this problem.
Simultaneously press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box and type the following command:
“C: Windows Microsoft.Net Framework v2.0.50727 Config”.
Find the machine.config.default file. Right-click to copy and paste the file to another location or to your computer desktop.
Then go back to C: Windows Microsoft.Net Framework v2.0.50727 Config, then basically delete the corrupted machine.config file.
Click the machine.config.default file and rename it machine.config. Your computer will offer you this action. Just confirm it and continue.
Then move the “machine.config” file to C: Windows Microsoft.Net Framework v2.0.50727 Config.
After doing all of the above, basically close the browser and restart the computer.
Perform a clean boot
Microsoft experts recommend performing a clean reset to find out if third-party programs or autoloading items are causing error 0xc00ce556. When installing third-party programs, change Windows settings, including the registry. They usually lead to confrontations that raise different questions. At the same time, it may be the fault of some applications that start immediately after each launch. Thus, disabling unwanted programs that run at startup, including external applications, can go a long way in establishing the true cause. Follow these instructions:
- Start searching in the taskbar with Win + Q keys, type msconfig and press Enter.
- Go to the Services tab and check the “Hide all Microsoft services” box. Click Disable All.
- Click the Startup tab and click the only visible link to Open Task Manager.
- When the console appears with the “Startup” tab highlighted, select each item and click “Disable.”
- Return to the System Settings window, select OK and reboot the device.
- The device starts with a minimal collection of programs. If you don't see error 0xc00ce556 returned by the scanner, this is one of the programs that caused the mess.
Perform a fresh installation of your operating system.
