ERROR_SXS_CORRUPTION
ERROR_SXS_CORRUPTION — The Side-by-Side isolation metadata for the process or thread has become corrupt.
Windows detected corruption in application-isolation metadata used by the current process or thread. If it affects only one application, the cause is often a damaged private manifest or incomplete installation. If many unrelated applications fail, investigate system component-store integrity.
Start with the first SideBySide error in Event Viewer or sxstrace, because the final corruption code often follows the original manifest or dependency failure.
What to check
- Reinstall the affected application if the problem is limited to that product.
- For system-wide symptoms, check and repair the component store with DISM, then run SFC.
- Do not delete or manually alter WinSxS folders.
