  3. The parameter is incorrect.

    Hi Judy,

    Receiving "The hosted network couldn't be started. The parameter is incorrect." message is usually received if the virtual adapter is disabled when enabling a hosted network. Try enabling the virtual adapter in Device Manager and check if
    it helps.

    Here's how:

    • Press the Windows key + X, and then click Device
      Manager.
    • Click on View, and then Show hidden devices.
    • Under Network adapters, you will see a virtual adapter.
      Right-click
      on it, and then click Enable.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Wsl not opening and showing the message: The parameter is incorrecte

    parameter is incorrect

    On Windows 10 when I try to create a list of all files of a particular type, I get this message during the search: "The parameter is incorrect."

    I have run chkdsk and sfc and find no problems. It happens more frequently when the drive being searched is an external USB drive, but also happens on the local disk. There is no explanation of *what* parameter is incorrect.

    Creation of the list (a txt file) completes, with no appearance of the error messge... but I don't know if all files were found or not. Typically, this message is given when I search for a filetype of which I know there are more than 100... with the rate being
    about twice per hundred files.
    Example of the searches:

    dir *.css /S>_allCSS.txt

    dir *.html /S>_allHTML.txt
    Over the weekend I tried this on 14 different systems, with different external drives. Same result. Oddly (maybe?), no such message is given when running the search on a NAS drive (tried 2 different ones), but the search takes considerably longer on the
    NAS drives.

    Does anybody know what causes this bizarre detail-free error message?

    Any assistance greatly appreciated!
