How to fix error error-illegal-float-context in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type 'sysdm.cpl' and press Enter. In the System Properties window, click the 'System Protection' tab, then click 'Create'. Give the restore point a name like 'Before Float Fix' and click Create. This creates a snapshot of your system so you can revert if anything goes wrong.
2. 2 Press Windows key + X and select 'Windows Terminal (Admin)' or 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. Click Yes if prompted. This opens an elevated command prompt with full permissions to run system repair commands.
3. 3 In the command prompt, type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This scans all protected system files and replaces corrupted ones. It may take 15-20 minutes. Wait for it to complete. If it finds issues, it will fix them automatically.
4. 4 After SFC completes, run 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. This repairs the Windows system image itself, which SFC relies on. It can take up to 30 minutes. This step ensures that the core system files are healthy.
5. 5 Restart your computer by clicking Start, then Power, then Restart. After reboot, try launching the application that caused the error. If the error persists, the issue may be with the specific software. Check for updates for that application or reinstall it.
6. 6 If the error still occurs, update your graphics and chipset drivers. Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Display adapters', right-click your GPU, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. Repeat for 'System devices' and 'Processors'. Outdated drivers can cause floating-point context issues.
