How to fix error error-invalid-address in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 First, try restarting your PC. This clears the memory and can resolve temporary glitches. If the error persists, proceed to the next step.
2. 2 Run the System File Checker to repair corrupted system files. Press Windows key + X and select 'Terminal (Admin)' or 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This will scan all protected system files and replace corrupted ones. It may take 15-20 minutes. Wait for it to finish.
3. 3 If SFC finds issues but can't fix them, run DISM (Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool). In the same admin terminal, type 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' and press Enter. This repairs the Windows system image. It can take up to 30 minutes. After it completes, restart your PC and run SFC again.
4. 4 Update your device drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers. Press Windows key + I to open Settings, go to 'Windows Update' → 'Advanced options' → 'Optional updates', and install any driver updates. Alternatively, visit your PC manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your model.
5. 5 If the error occurs in a specific application, try reinstalling that application. Uninstall it via Settings → Apps → Installed apps, then download the latest version from the official site and install it.
6. 6 If the error persists, perform a clean boot to identify software conflicts. Press Windows key + R, type 'msconfig', and press Enter. In the Services tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services' and click 'Disable all'. In the Startup tab, click 'Open Task Manager' and disable all startup items. Restart. If the error stops, gradually re-enable services and startup items to find the culprit.
