Here's how to Fix Windows cannot find Make sure you typed the name correctly.

The "Windows cannot find 'file'. Make sure you typed the name correctly" error occurs when you try to access a file or folder that doesn't exist at the specified location. Here are some things you can try:

- Double check that you typed the filename (including extension) correctly and used the right case. Windows file paths are case sensitive.

- If typing the file path manually, verify each folder name in the path is correct. A small typo can lead Windows to the wrong location.

- If accessing the file through an application or shortcut, check the file location referenced is valid and has not changed. Update it if needed.

- Search your hard drive for the file name to see if it exists in another folder or drive. Files may have moved.

- If this is a shared network file, make sure the mapped network drive is still connected and assigned the same drive letter.

- The file might have been deleted or moved recently. Check with the file owner or look in Recycle Bin.

- Restart your File Explorer which may clear up any temporary issues finding files/folders.

- Run SFC and DISM scans to check for file system errors. System file corruption can cause issues finding files.

Note that the affected file/item may have been accidentally deleted or misplaced.
