ERROR CODE 0x80070057

For Windows error codes like 0x80070057, there are two main official lists online:

1. System error codes (like 0x80070057 and many others)
   Use the "System error codes" reference. It lists Windows system error codes by number and explains what each one means, along with guidance on how to look them up:
   • Browse the list of codes by number.
   • Or use the Microsoft Error Lookup Tool to decode a specific code.
2. Device Manager error codes (for hardware/device issues)
   If the error appears in Device Manager (for example, under a device’s Properties → Device status), use the "Error codes in Device Manager in Windows" article. It explains each Device Manager–specific code and suggests resolutions.

To look up a specific code in detail:

1. Go to the System error codes documentation and search for the numeric value (for example, 0x80070057).
2. Or download and run the Microsoft Error Lookup Tool (Err_6.4.5.exe), then run:

      Err_6.4.5.exe 0x80070057
   

   This shows the official message text for that code.
3. If the error is from Device Manager, open the Device Manager error codes article and find the matching code there.

For Windows Update–specific errors, there is also a dedicated Windows Update error codes reference that lists update-related codes and their meanings.
