Hi there,

I hope you're all doing well.

A couple days ago I checked Event Viewer to see what events are logged after a restart and found thousands of these warnings. Literally 2 per minute for days. Been researching but haven't found the root or a solution.

I've tried running sfc /scannow but no change.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
Hi to you & welcome to the forum.
I hope you are well too.

Those are warnings , not actual issues or errors. You will find many of those generated during startups/shutdowns/updates, software triggering etc.
Unless you are a seasoned developer, stay away from the Event Viewer.
It will help you keep your sanity, resulting in a healthier lifestyle.

Haha agreed :dizzy: But just seems a bit excessive and want to be sure it's not impacting anything else.

I updated my previous post and provided a bit more insight. Hopefully. :-)

Welcome to the forum. Since it's only a warning, that's good. I agree,with @OAT. The event viewer will make one Loony Tunes PDQ. Unless I have a problem, I never go there.
I find reliability monitor as deep into those guts as I want to go.

It would help if you would provide us a full screenshot. Pull up event. You will see 2 tabs: general & detail
The general tab can be screenshotted in its entirety. For the details tab, a lot of the text will be hidden until you drag the right edge to the left over the actions pane, revealing what's hidden.

Thank you for the reply and wisdom from you both. As you've both said, it's just warnings so instead of going down the rabbit-hole, I'll just leave it as is. Much appreciation to you both.
