Sometimes while developing or using certain services you might encounter an ERROR_RECEIVE_PARTIAL message. This is a network error, and in today’s guide, we’re going to show you how to fix it.

How can I fix the ERROR_RECEIVE_PARTIAL message?

1. Check your network

If there are any network issues, you’ll need to resolve them first to address this error.

2. Check the software

1. Ensure that the application is designed to handle partial data.
2. Add logic that will reassemble messages or try to retrieve the data.
3. Check the application logs and investigate the issue further.

You can recognize ERROR_RECEIVE_PARTIAL sometimes by its error message: 707 (0x2C3) {Partial Data Received} The network transport returned partial data to its client. The remaining data will be sent later.

As you can see, this is a network error, and it can be caused by the network connection, network configuration, or improperly configured application.
