The error code “Win32 0x000000D0” isn’t a specific error related to Win32 applications. It’s a combination of two elements that can be misleading.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Win32: This refers to the 32-bit version of the Windows API (Application Programming Interface). It doesn’t directly relate to the error code itself.
• 0x000000D0: This is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error code in Windows, referring to the bug check message META_EXPANSION_TOO_LONG.

Therefore, “Win32 0x000000D0” indicates a critical system issue related to file path handling, not a Win32 application malfunction.

Here’s how to fix the 0x000000D0 error:

Possible Causes:

• Incorrect or Overly Long File Paths: The most likely culprit is a file path exceeding the maximum character limit allowed by Windows for file operations. This can happen due to deeply nested folder structures, filenames with excessive characters, or environment variables expanding to very long paths.
• Corrupted System Files (Less Likely): In rare cases, corrupted system files related to file path handling might contribute to the error.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Shorten File Paths:

   • Try to shorten the file paths involved in any recent actions that might have triggered the BSOD. This could involve renaming folders, moving files closer to the root directory, or avoiding excessively long filenames.
   • Consider using environment variables for frequently accessed locations to shorten paths.

2. System File Checker (SFC) Scan:

   • Open Command Prompt (Admin).

   • Type the following command and press Enter:

     <code data-test-id="code-content" data-sourcepos="29:6-31:17">sfc /scannow
     </code>

   • This command scans your system files and attempts to repair any corrupted system files that might be contributing to file path handling issues.

3. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) (Advanced Users):

   • In rare cases, extensive system file corruption might necessitate DISM. Refer to a trusted Microsoft resource for the appropriate DISM commands for your Windows version.

Additional Tips:

• Keep your Windows system up-to-date with the latest patches and security fixes.
• Avoid using excessively long file paths in your daily operations.
• If none of these solutions work, consulting a computer technician might be recommended. They can use diagnostic tools to analyze system logs or registry entries for clues about the specific file path causing the issue.

By following these steps and focusing on shortening file paths and checking for system file corruption, you can increase your chances of resolving the 0x000000D0 error and preventing future BSOD occurrences.
