Upon examining the issue, we’ve discovered some of the primary reasons that might be behind NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556. Below, we have outlined some of the main causes:-
Corrupted machine.config file: Machine.config contains configuration data that is applied to an entire computer. There is a high possibility that the machine.config file is corrupted, causing NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556.Corrupted Microsoft .NET Framework: If there is any corruption in the Net Framework, you may encounter NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556.Corrupted System Files: As it turns out, corrupted system files can be the sole reason for this error to occur. To avoid NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556, you must repair them.Software conflict: The error, NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556, may occur due to a conflict with a third-party application.Incorrect Installation of Windows: Since the error occurred right after the installation of Windows OS, there may be a chance that an incorrect installation of Windows triggered this NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556.
1. Replace the corrupt machine.config file with the default file.
Machine.config is a configuration file, written in XML, which stores the global settings of all the ASP.NET applications. However, you can easily replace the corrupted machine.config with the original one by simply copying and pasting.
2. Clean boot the system
Another solution to fixing the NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556 involves performing a clean boot. This is a troubleshooting technique used to diagnose applications that cause errors. Third-party applications, or even Microsoft services, can conflict with the NET Framework or, you could say, with the system files. To determine which software is causing the error, you must disable all irrelevant services and third-party software by performing a clean boot to Windows. This allows just the necessary services and minimum drivers to load. If the error does not appear after performing a clean boot, it means that a third-party or Microsoft service is causing the error. To fix this, you have to enable the services one by one or half at a time to identify the culprit. Make sure to restart the computer after enabling each service. If you cannot find the culprit, you can use your Windows system in a clean boot state.
3. Run System File Checker and DISM
When it comes to corrupted files, the first thing you should do is run System File Checker. This is a command-line utility used to replace the corrupted files with cached ones. DISM contains three utility commands which allow advanced scanning, restoring, and disk checking. DISM includes DLL packages and system files for Windows. Running SFC or DISM may help fix NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556. Below are the steps:-
4. Install Microsoft .NET Framework
If the .Net Framework is corrupted, you may need to install the Microsoft Framework, as it could be the culprit causing the NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556. The .Net Framework is used for running different applications on various platforms and allows users to design applications in a development environment. Should any corruption occur within the .Net framework, it should automatically rectify itself.
5. Enable the Microsoft .NET Framework.
If reinstalling .NET Framework does not fix the problem, try enabling Microsoft .NET Framework. Both solutions can potentially resolve the .NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556. Most applications require certain advanced options of Microsoft .NET Framework to be enabled in order to run.
6. Update the Windows OS.
Many users have reported that they cannot update their Windows due to the interference of some errors. It is necessary to update Windows, even if errors interfere, as updating can resolve this issue. If you are unable to install the Windows update, we recommend using the Media Creation tool or downloading the update from the Microsoft Catalog. Additionally, you can attempt to resolve the error by visiting our article on ‘How to Fix Windows Update Error Codes’. If the article does not pertain to your specific error code, you may still follow these steps, as most errors occur due to lack of important settings.
7. Reinstall Your Operating System,
If all else fails to fix NET Parsing Error 0xC00CE556, you may need to reinstall the operating system. As per the affected users, the error occurs right after the incorrect installation of Windows. Reinstalling the operating system will fix this error.
