Having IIS internal server errors 500.19, and seeing 

Config File       \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot

as part of the error message, but I can't do a search for that first part as Google just ignores it... What does

\\?\C:

mean?

PS - I'm explicitly asking about this symbol, and not how to resolve the error that is causing it.

    The path might be irrelevant. `\\?\` is sometimes use for network paths or Linux compatibility. You are more likely to find a solution if you focus on the causes for a 500.19 error https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929131/how-do-i-resolve-http-error-500-19-internal-server-error-on-iis7-0 – tgolisch Mar 13 '19 at 15:40
  • Do you know which version of IIS you are using & the OS? – tgolisch Mar 13 '19 at 15:41

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats Microsoft documents it and other variants. – Lex Li Mar 13 '19 at 15:49
  • @Lex-Li - this should be the answer. It gives exactly what I was looking for but did not know how to find. Thanks! – NovaDev Mar 13 '19 at 17:14
