Windows 10 DriverToaster error

Question

I am getting the following error (after bootup without manually starting any programs).   It will also occur often even after closing the error.

==============================================================

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\DriverToaster_1.5.0.0_x86__rqs2nt378nwsp\DriverToaster.exe

The data area passed to a system call is too small

==============================================================

Any ideas?     How is this repaired?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I started receiving this error within the past week or so.   No major changes other than normal Windows updates.  When I cancel the error message, it will come back eventually.  Nothing sticks out as a 'trigger' for the event.

Hi,

There is a possibility that some of your system files has been corrupted. We suggest that you try using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool and run the System File Checker (SFC) scan.

DISM will repair some damaged or corrupted system files, while, SFC utility allows administrators to perform a scan of all protected resources to verify that they are the correct version. If SFC should find any incorrect versions in any of these protected resources, SFC will replace them with the correct versions.

We look forward to your response.
