You’re likely to run into INVALID DATA ACCESS TRAP error when upgrading or updating the OS. The error prevents you from completing the update and indicates a rollback from Win 11 to 10 is necessary to troubleshoot the error. That said, a rollback is not always necessary. In this post, we offer you 5 DIY solutions to this problem. We’re sure at least one of them will work for you.

Solution #1 – Uninstall Media Players

• Type settings in the Search bar in the taskbar and hit Enter

• Click Apps in the left-side pane and then click Installed apps

• You’ll see a list of installed apps on your system. Select all media players one by one, click the three-dot icon next to them, and select Uninstall

Solution #2 – Run a CHKDSK scan

Check disk (CHKDSK) is a pre-installed tool in Windows that scans and repairs hard drive errors. Some users were able to fix the titled error by running a CHKDSK scan, so giving it a go is worth it.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Type command prompt in the Search bar in the taskbar, right-click Command Prompt in the search results, and select Run as administrator

• Type the following command and hit Enter: chkdsk C: /f /r /x

• Wait for the scan to complete, which can take anywhere between 10-20 minutes to a couple of hours or more, depending on the size and health of your hard disk

Solution #3 – Disconnect peripheral devices

Although not common, a peripheral device can trigger the INVALID DATA ACCESS TRAP error. Determining which peripheral device is the culprit right off the bat is next to impossible, so consider disconnecting all of them. Next, connect only the most essential ones, such as the keyboard and mouse, and check if that fixes the issue.

Solution #4 – Download Windows 11 ISO manually

When the error occurs during Windows 11 automatic installation or upgrade, manually installing Windows 11 ISO may help solve the issue.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Open a web browser
• Go to Microsoft Software Download page
• Choose Windows 11 and click Download

• Save the Windows 11 ISO file in a suitable location on your PC
• Press Windows + E to launch File Explorer
• Before proceeding with the Windows 11 installation, disconnect the computer from the Internet. Next, if you’re using a third-party antivirus tool, disable it
• When you start installation, you might be asked whether you wish to install additional updates, choose No
• Right-click the Win 11 ISO file and choose Mount

• Click created virtual DVD drive

• Next, click the installation file to begin installation
• Wait for Windows 11 installation to complete. Re-establish your computer’s connection to the Internet and re-enable the third-party antivirus tool
