An error occurred while troubleshooting. Error code 0x80070005.

Has anybody received this error message? I've found other threads where people post the same problem, but I haven't seen any solutions. Essentially, every time I troubleshoot ANYTHING (wifi-connectivity, printer troubleshooting, etc.), I get this error message.



I got this error message when troubleshooting my printer. It states: An unexpected error has occurred. The troubleshooting wizard can't continue.

Package ID: Unknown
Path: Unknown
Error code: 0x80070005
Source: Temporary files
User: JJ-HP\JJ
Context: Restricted.

Any ideas?

Did you move your Temporary Folder? It seems to lack permissions, symptomatic of moving it - which is why it's never a good idea to move AppData folders or the entire User Profile.

If so i would move it back to where it was, or if the User Profile was moved restore it to its default location and then only move the active User folders.

Thanks for the help - my profile was indeed corrupted (although I don't know how that happened), and creating a new user profile did work.

I did not move the temp folder, nor did I delete it.
