What is error 0x800700E1 on Windows?
During a file transfer or a running backup operation of your PC, you can experience an error that prevents you from completing the operation. Many errors can trigger this, but it is usually associated with the 0x800700E1 error code.
- It occurs during a virus scan or any related Windows operation.

How do I fix Windows virus error 0x800700E1?
Before we proceed with more advanced solutions, here are a couple of quick fixes you can attempt:
- Perform a full scan using Windows Defender or, even better, a third-party antivirus.
- Update Windows drivers and the operating system.
- Unplug all your external devices and restart your PC.
- Perform a clean boot or enter the safe mode to troubleshoot the problem.
If the error message persists, use the following troubleshooting techniques to fix it.
1. Delete System images and backups
- Left-click the Start menu, type the control panel, and launch it.
- Then open the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) and click on Manage space in the new window.
- In the new window, click View Backups.
- Then select the backup you want to delete and click on the Delete button.
Doing this will delete all your earlier system images, thereby saving more disk space
This will delete your earlier system images and keep only the latest System Image, thereby freeing up disk space to fix the 0x800700E1 error.
2. Temporarily disable Real-time protection
- Press the Windows key, type Windows security, and hit Enter.
- Click on Virus and Threat Protection and Manage Settings.
- In the next window, click the toggle button next to Real-Time Protection to turn off the feature. (You can also disable more options in this tab).
- Close the Windows Security window and restart your PC to check if the error is resolved.
The Windows Security app protects your PC from harmful files and applications but can also infringe on the functionality of Windows by preventing specific third-party applications from operating.
3. Disable the Windows Firewall
- Press the Windows key, type Windows security, and hit Enter.

Изредка это может произойти в случае сбоя в функционировании «Проводника» или присутствия ошибок на накопителе.
Ошибка 0x800700E1
В случае когда причиной возникновения ошибки был сбой в работе «Проводника», то его просто необходимо перезапустить. Нужно нажать Ctrl+Alt+Delete и вызвать «Диспетчер задач». В списке процессов находим «Проводник», щелкаем по нему и нажимаем «Перезапустить». После этого повторяем действия, при которых возникала ошибка.
После этого рекомендуется проверить ПК на вирусы. Для этого лучше воспользоваться сканером по типу Dr. Web CureIt. Если же вы уверены в том, что компьютер не заражен, то нужно на время выключить защиту в реальном времени или добавить заблокированный файл в исключения.
Иногда антивирус может повредить системный файл. В основном это происходит когда он обнаружит в нем опасность. В таком случае стоит запустить восстановление системных файлов. Для этого в поиске системы вводим «cmd» и заходим в нее. Далее прописываем такие строки и щелкаем Enter.
sfc /scannow
Изредка ошибка может возникнуть при нехватке места на диске. Чтобы исключить такую возможность, необходимо убедиться в его наличии. Если места не хватает, то удаляем ненужные и временные файлы.
Сторонние программы также могут влиять на процессы перемещения или копирования файлов. Чтобы исключить их воздействие можно попробовать загрузить систему в чистом виде.
1. Заходим в «Диспетчер задач». Для этого используем комбинацию клавиш Ctrl+Alt+Delete или щелкаем на «Панель задач» и выбираем пункт «Диспетчер задач».
2. Заходим в раздел «Автозагрузка» и отключаем все пункты.
3. Далее жмем Win+R и пишем «msconfig». Нажимаем «Ок». На вкладке «Службы» ставим чекбокс возле надписи «Не отображать службы Майкрософт». Теперь убираем отметки с оставшихся служб и щелкаем «Ок».

Пользователи ОС Windows, начиная от «восьмерки» и заканчивая «десяткой», жалуются, что при перемещении определенных файлов перед ними возникает ошибка 0x800700E1. В сообщении данной ошибки указана следующая информация:
Не удалось скопировать файл из-за непредвиденной ошибки. При повторном появлении этого сообщения об ошибке выполните поиск по коду ошибки для получения справки по этой проблеме.
Ошибка 0x800700E1: Операция не было успешно завершена, так как файл содержит вирус или потенциально нежелательную программу.
Кроме того, некоторые пользователи утверждают, что на подобную ошибку можно наткнуться во время создания резервной копии системы.
Причины за ошибкой 0x800700E1
Как правило, ошибка 0x800700E1 возникает из-за того, что Защитник Windows, системный антивирус, заблокировал файл, который вы попытались перенести, потому что тот посчитал его вирусом или нежелательным ПО. Эту же информацию можно прочесть в последней строчке сообщения самой ошибки. Сам файл при этом, разумеется, ни тем, ни другим может и не являться.
Частенько с ошибкой 0x800700E1 имеют дело игроки, пытающиеся перетащить «таблетку», которая предназначена для взлома видеоигры. Тем не менее бывают и такие случаи, когда перемещаемый файл действительно содержит в себе вирус либо является не совсем тем, чем кажется.
Как исправить ошибку 0x800700E1?
Избавиться от ошибки 0x800700E1 можно с помощью двух-трех элементарных методов: отключение Защитника Windows, внесение «проблемного» файла в список исключения антивируса либо его удаление. Давайте обо всем по порядку…
Метод №1 Отключение Защитника Windows
Защитник Windows пытается всего лишь защитить вас от потенциальных угроз, однако иногда он чуток перебарщивает, начиная блокировать важные файлы и программы. Решение очень простое: отключаем Защитник, перемещаем файл в нужное место и включаем Защитник обратно. Чтобы отключить Защитник Windows, вам нужно сделать следующее:
- нажмите Win+I;
- откройте раздел «Обновление и безопасность»;
- перейдите во вкладку «Безопасность Windows»;
- кликните на пункт «Защита от вирусов и угроз»;
- нажмите на «Управление настройками»;
- выставьте переключатель «Защита в режиме реального времени» в положение «Откл.»;
- закройте все окна.
Проверьте наличие ошибки 0x800700E1 при перемещении файлов.
Метод №2 Внесение файла в список исключений
Если вы не хотите постоянно отключать Защитник Windows, когда вам всякий раз захочется переместить «проблемный» файл, можно внести его в список исключений системного антивируса. Для этого вам нужно:
- выполните все, что указано выше, остановившись в «Параметрах защиты от вирусов и других угроз»;
- опуститесь вниз окошка и кликните на «Добавления или удаление исключений»;
- кликните на «Добавить исключение» (значок плюса);
- в ниспадающем меню выберите «Файл» и укажите расположение нужного вам файла.
Готово. Теперь Защитник Windows не станет блокировать ваш файл и ошибка 0x800700E1 больше не должна вам мешать.
Метод №3 Сканирование ОС Windows и удаление файла
А не думали ли вы, что файл, который вы ранее пытались переместить, может действительно содержать внутри себя вредоносный элемент? Просканируйте свою систему на наличие вирусов и прочих вредителей.
- доберитесь до раздела «Защита от угроз и вирусов» в Безопасности Windows;
- кликните на «Параметры сканирования»;
- выберите «Полное сканирование» и нажмите «Выполнить сканирование сейчас»;
- дождитесь окончания сканирования и ознакомьтесь с результатами.
Файл вновь угодил под прицел Защитника? Если вы раздобыли этот файл из какого-то недостоверного источника и он не критически важен для вас — удалите его. Удалите, а потом еще раз просканируйте ОС Windows, дабы убедиться в том, что тот не оставил сюрпризов на вашем компьютере. Ну если файл доверенный, например, это таблетка для игрушки или какая-то взломанная portable-программка, то воспользуйтесь двумя предыдущими методами.
Question
Issue: How to fix error 0x800700E1 in Windows?
Hello. I wanted to transfer a .exe file from my USB key to the computer but I received a message “0x800700E1: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.” I got the file from a trusted user. How can I fix this?
Solved Answer
Windows is one of the most popular operating systems and was first released by Microsoft in 1985. Right now, Microsoft has become a tech giant with over 1.5 billion Windows users across the globe.[1] There are many reasons for its success, but the main ones are the user-friendly interface, customization abilities, and easy troubleshooting options.
Of course, like many other technologies, Windows does not come without hiccups. The complexity of the system makes users sometimes experience various system errors. Some of them are minor and can be easily taken care of by using WIndows built-in automatic troubleshooters, and others require more user input to locate the root of the problem.
Sometimes, users have issues importing files from external storage devices,[2] like HDDs, USBs, or others. Users receive the 0x800700E1 error code which says “Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.” The most logical reason why you would get this error is that Windows Defender detected something suspicious. We would not suggest trusting such a file no matter who the trusted sender is, but you can proceed at your own risk to bypass the error.
