How to fix error error-not-tiny-stream in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Run CHKDSK to check and repair disk errors. Open Command Prompt as administrator (Windows key + X → 'Terminal (Admin)'). Type 'chkdsk C: /f /r' (replace C: with the affected drive letter) and press Enter. If the drive is in use, you'll be prompted to schedule it for the next restart. This command scans for file system errors and bad sectors.
2. 2 If CHKDSK doesn't fix the issue, run the System File Checker. Type 'sfc /scannow' in the same terminal. This repairs corrupted system files that might be causing the error.
3. 3 Check the disk's health using the built-in 'Performance Monitor' or third-party tools like CrystalDiskInfo. Press Windows key + R, type 'perfmon', and press Enter. Go to 'Data Collector Sets' → 'System' → 'System Diagnostics' and run it. This gives a detailed report on disk health.
4. 4 If the drive is failing, back up your data immediately and replace the drive. You can use Windows Backup or copy files to an external drive.
5. 5 If the error occurs on a specific file, try copying the file to another location and back. This can sometimes refresh the file's metadata.
