Error Code error-not-locked — Windows 11

Postup řešení

1. 1 First, identify which application is causing the error. Check the Windows Event Viewer: press Windows key + X, select 'Event Viewer', go to 'Windows Logs' > 'Application', and look for error entries around the time the error occurred. Note the source and details. This helps you know which program to focus on.
2. 2 Update the problematic application. Visit the software vendor's website and download the latest version. Many bugs related to locking are fixed in updates. If it's a game, update it through the game launcher (e.g., Steam, Epic Games).
3. 3 If the error is system-wide, run the System File Checker. Press Windows key + R, type 'cmd', press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run as administrator. Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This repairs corrupted system files that might be causing improper locking behavior.
4. 4 Check for driver updates, especially for storage controllers. Press Windows key + X, select 'Device Manager', expand 'Storage controllers', right-click on each, and select 'Update driver'. Outdated storage drivers can cause file locking issues.
5. 5 If the error persists, perform a clean boot to rule out software conflicts. Press Windows key + R, type 'msconfig', press Enter. Go to 'Services', check 'Hide all Microsoft services', click 'Disable all'. Go to 'Startup' and click 'Open Task Manager', disable all startup items. Restart. If the error disappears, re-enable services and startup items one by one to find the culprit.
