One such error is the BSOD Recovery error 0x0000185. A Stop error will not let the computer start up normally unless the problem has been dealt with. Though this error is quite common in Windows 10 and 11, it also happens in older OS versions like Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 0xc0000185 error mainly occurs when the operating system cannot access critical system files from the hard drive. In other words, in simple terms, the computer cannot communicate with the hard disk, or the necessary system files to boot are corrupt or missing. Error code 0xc0000185 most often occurs upon system restart and usually is preceded by one of the following messages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains certain errors. Error code: 0x0000185&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Your PC needs to be repaired. The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Other variations of this error message include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn\u2019t connected or can\u2019t be accessed. Error code: 0x0000185&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Your PC couldn\u2019t start properly. A required device isn\u2019t connected or can\u2019t be accessed. Error code: 0xc0000185&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;You\u2019ll need to use recovery tools. If you don\u2019t have any installation media (like a disk or USB device), please contact your administrator or PC manufacturer.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This error prevents the system from starting properly, but it can usually be resolved by using recovery tools or troubleshooting the Boot Configuration Data. Fortunately, in this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/\">Outbyte<\/a> there are a number of ways that you can solve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_Error_0x0000185\"><\/span>Causes of Error 0x0000185<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corrupted BCD<\/strong>: The most common reason for corrupted or missing Boot Configuration Data could actually be the cause of this critical error; the data is highly crucial for Windows to load. Disruption of this data might lead to this critical error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>System File Corruption<\/strong>: Damaged system files can be another cause of errors during booting. Malware infection, sudden shutdowns, and incomplete system updates can be some other reasons why system files can get corrupted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kernel Subsystem Problems<\/strong>: During the process of booting, kernel subsystem performs a very vital role. When any portion of this subsystem gets corrupted, it may generate error 0x0000185.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laptop-with-Blue-Error-Screen.webp\" alt=\"error code 0xc0000185\" class=\"wp-image-11627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laptop-with-Blue-Error-Screen.webp 960w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laptop-with-Blue-Error-Screen-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Laptop-with-Blue-Error-Screen-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_Blue_Screen_Error_0x0000185\"><\/span>How to Fix Blue Screen Error 0x0000185<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should try is to reboot your computer. It\u2019s unlikely that a standard reboot will resolve this particular problem but attempting a complete reboot never hurts. Windows usually fix glitches during the startup sequence, so if you\u2019re lucky, this might work. It is also advised to clean your computer regularly using <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/software\/pc-repair\/?m=site_blog_article_pcr_pplink&amp;utm_source=outbyte&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=article_pcr_pplink&amp;utm_term=Outbyte+PC+Repair&amp;utm_content=\/blog\/why-youre-getting-blue-screen-recovery-error-0x0000185-and-how-to-fix-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outbyte PC Repair<\/a> to prevent blue screen errors from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_1_Use_Automated_Repair\"><\/span>Fix 1: Use Automated Repair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re getting the 0x0000185 error at every system startup and you noticed that it appears when loading your kernel files, there\u2019s a high chance that some subsystem files are behind this error code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, the best way to resolve the issue is by using the recovery tools on your installation media to access the Automatic Repair utility. Some affected users have reported that doing this allowed them to boot their PC normally, without being halted by the 0x0000185 error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the process will require you to use compatible Windows Installation media. If you don\u2019t have one at the ready, you will need to create an installation media for Windows 10\/11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Here\u2019s how to use the Automated Repair utility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insert a bootable Windows installation USB or DVD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boot your PC from the installation media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8220;Repair your computer.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Troubleshoot &gt; Advanced Options &gt; Automatic Repair<\/strong>.<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot_1-7.png\" alt=\"0x0000185\" style=\"\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the prompts to repair your system and restart your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_2_Rebuild_the_Boot_Configuration_Data_BCD\"><\/span>Fix 2: Rebuild the Boot Configuration Data (BCD)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, this particular error code can also appear due to some kernel files ending up corrupting the Boot configuration data. Those who were struggling to resolve the 0x0000185 error have confirmed that rebuilding the BCD files with a series of commands helped fix the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boot your system using the installation media and open <strong>Command Prompt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run the following commands:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>bootrec \/fixmbr\n\nbootrec \/fixboot\n\nbootrec \/rebuildbcd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once completed, restart your system to see if the issue is resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_3_Perform_a_System_Restore\"><\/span>Fix 3: Perform a System Restore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As it would appear, the 0x0000185 error sometimes occurs from some changes to the operating system that eventually altered the configuration of the boot. In this case, where the above steps have not been able to fix the problem, the best thing you could do right now is to run System Restore and restore your system to a point when this problem did not happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You need to boot into System Restore by using installation media through the Advanced Options menu.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a restore point prior to when this error occurred and let the restore process complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_4_Repair_or_Clean_Install_Windows\"><\/span>Fix 4: Repair or Clean Install Windows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If all of the above steps fail, then either of the following would be good enough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Repair Install will be reinstalling Windows but still keep your files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A clean install erases the drive and reinstalls Windows from scratch. It should be preceded by a back-up of all the important data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the 0x0000185 error sounds serious, most of the time, it is solvable with the steps outlined above. If, after going through the steps, the problem does not resolve, then some deep-rooted, underlying hardware problems could be the cause, which may need professional intervention.
