In this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/\">Outbyte<\/a> we will give you a detailed guide how to fix the 0xc0000185 error.<\/p>\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\/Windows-Error.webp\" alt=\"error code 0xc0000185\" class=\"wp-image-11937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Windows-Error.webp 960w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Windows-Error-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Windows-Error-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_Error_Code_0xc0000185\"><\/span>Causes of Error Code 0xc0000185<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boot Configuration Data is Missing: Well, the most common cause for this kind of error is corrupt or missing Boot Configuration Data. If the BCD gets damaged, Windows will be unable to load the necessary files needed to successfully boot up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faulty Hardware or System Files: This can also be caused by faulty hardware, such as a malfunctioning hard drive, or corrupted system files that may be damaged due to sudden shutdowns or losses of power and malware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Corrupted Kernel Subsystem: Sometimes, one of the files in the subsystem of the kernel gets corrupted, and it disrupts the boot sequence, hence resulting in this error 0xc0000185.<\/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=\"Solutions_to_Fix_Error_Code_0xc0000185\"><\/span>Solutions to Fix Error Code 0xc0000185<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand the pain of having to experience this system error. That is why we present these lists of possible fixes that can remedy your problem, or at least attempt to get your PC up and running again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_1_Restart_Your_Computer\"><\/span>Solution 1: Restart Your Computer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While a standard reboot might not always solve this error, it\u2019s worth a try as sometimes Windows can fix glitches during the startup sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_2_Use_Automated_Repair\"><\/span>Solution 2: Use Automated Repair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If restarting doesn\u2019t work, try using the Automated Repair tool from the Windows installation media. This tool can repair damaged boot files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insert a bootable USB or CD with Windows installation files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boot your PC from the media, and when prompted, select &#8220;Repair your computer.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to Troubleshoot &gt; Advanced Options &gt; Automatic Repair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the detection of OS, select the one that your PC runs with. Unplug the flash drive or CD. Try to boot your computer again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_3_Rebuild_Boot_Configuration_Data_BCD\"><\/span>Solution 3: Rebuild Boot Configuration Data (BCD)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the BCD is corrupted, you are able to manually rebuild it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boot from the installation media and open the Command Prompt from the repair menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type 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>After the commands execute, restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_4_Use_System_Restore\"><\/span>Solution 4: Use System Restore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the installation media does not work, then you can always restore the system to a point in time. First, just in case, back up all your important files to an external drive. You can delete applications and data using a System Restore. Run the restore from the Advanced Startup options menu, then attempt to boot your system again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solution_5_Format_your_drive\"><\/span>Solution 5: Format your drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This probably involves the most drastic changes among the fixes, since it involves formatting the drive, wiping all the files onto it, and reinstalling Windows onto your device. Again, remember to back up your files on an external drive to save them from permanent deletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you may even wish to try the <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\/what-you-should-know-about-error-code-0xc0000185-on-windows-10-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outbyte PC Repair<\/a> program to further optimize your PC to avoid errors like these in the future.
