Error 0x80071128 is related to Windows reparse point, which is a data structure containing information about how the system can access various directories and files. If the data present in the reparse point gets damaged or corrupted, Windows will be unable to access the files that are related to it, resulting in the error. Fortunately, it is quite easy to fix this problem using a few simple methods.

Run the CHKDSK Utility

  1. Open the Start menu, type CMD and click Run as administrator to launch Command Prompt with administrative rights.
  1. When Command Prompt opens, type chkdsk /r /f and press Enter to start the CHKDSK scan.
  1. If a prompt appears asking whether you want to proceed after restarting your computer, press Y and then reboot your PC.
  2. Once the process is complete, after your computer restarts, check whether the error has been fixed.

Run SFC and DISM scans

  1. Open Command Prompt as explained above and type sfc /scannow before hitting Enter to start the scan.
  1. Wait for the process to complete. Then type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter again.
  1. Let the process complete and then check whether the problem has been resolved.

Reset Microsoft OneDrive

Sometimes, Microsoft OneDrive's cache can cause error 0x80071128 to appear. In such situations, resetting OneDrive might be an effective solution.

  1. Open the Run dialog using the Win + R shortcut and type %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset before pressing Enter.

2. If the above command does not reset OneDrive, use %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe. Once OneDrive resets, the error should no longer appear.

Besides the solutions mentioned above, you can find third-party tools online designed to remove reparse points from files. Just make sure to scan any tools or utilities you download from the internet to ensure they don't contain malware or viruses. Additionally, back up your system before making any changes in case something goes wrong and you need to undo the changes.
