And we think it can probably be configured to read more (Settings > Modules (custom)), although there’s no documentation to confirm that and we didn’t test it. The program also supports a wide range of codes: regular Windows errors, DirectX, NTSTATUS (Native API), WinInet, Device Manager, STOP (BSOD), RAS/VPN and IP Helper library. But, surprisingly, they don’t all tell you that this is a timeout error, so Error Look does give you an immediate advantage (plus it works offline, too). You could just search for the code online, of course, and the first links give you much the same advice. It suggests that your PC isn’t somehow damaged, you don’t have to reinstall or repair Windows, the problem might just go away on its own if you simply wait until tomorrow.
Just seeing the description is extremely useful. Type 0x80072ee2 into the program and it immediately tells you this means 'the operation timed out'. Error Lookup doesn’t recognize hex codes on its own, unfortunately, so you have to start them with '0x' (that’s a zero).
Until, that is, you type something like 80072ee2 into the box and nothing appears.įortunately the solution is easy. The interface is simple - just a box to type your code, and another which displays the details - so there doesn’t seem much to learn.
