    • in reply to: Manual shut down causes event log errors Win10 v1909 #2267043

      Thanks for your help.  So, I originally stopped the error messages by turning off fast start-up.

      After your suggestion I ran sfc and dism scans in that order.  The sfc scan came back that corrupted files were found and repaired.  The Dism scan found no problems.

      So, I turned fast start-up back on, then shut down computer, then started the computer and no errors or warnings.  All good.

      Thank you.

      Got there differently on my Windows 10 Home v1909:

      Settings>Devices>Printers and Scanners>Microsoft XPS Document Writer>Manage>Printer Properties>Advanced

      Wound up on the same page as picture you sent.  I see Microsoft XPS Document Writer v4.  It is greyed out.

      I have never written or printed an XPS Document and don’t know what it is.  So, I guess if I never use the XPS Document Writer this bug will not be a problem for me.

      Right?

      There is no Print Management listed under Administrative Tools.

      And so, I have Windows 10 Home 1909.  I am thinking I don’t have Print Management because I don’t have Windows 10 PRO.

      Right?

      I went to two discussions I was referred to here (not sure PKCano was replying to me) and one link within a discussion here. Mostly I did not understand.

      I learned that I can see if I have a v4 driver by opening Print Management on Windows 10.  Unfortunately, when I tried, I also learned that Windows 10 1909 has no such thing as Print Management (printmanagement.msc) and cannot locate it though run, search, CMD or PowerShell.

      I have learned the v4 driver is “bundled with the operating system”, whatever that means.  I guess the driver comes with Windows 10.

      How about this?

      If I have Windows 10 1909 should I assume I have the v4 print driver?

      If I am a simple home user, will I be able to print with my wireless printer connected to my home network if I download the April 2020 patches when the time comes?

      Thank you. Try to keep it simple.

      “Susan still hasn’t gotten to the bottom of the v4 Printer Driver disconnected printer bug.”

      What is a “v4 Printer Driver”?  I don’t know if I have one or not.  I suspect “v4 Printer Driver” is some sort of short hand I don’t understand.

      I have an HP Envy 5540_series6938 printer.   The driver version is 17.60.0.5100.

    • in reply to: Computer won’t sleep since March updates #2240594

      Have you looked in Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System for critical errors related to power or sleep after the unexpected restart?

      Excellent suggestion.  Unfortunately, when I tried to follow through, sleep worked.  I am now able to manually put my computer to sleep from START.  I can choose sleep from the left click or right click menu from START.  Choosing sleep works from either menu. I have no idea why.

      Still your suggestion was spot on.  Thank you.

    • in reply to: Computer won’t sleep since March updates #2232992

      Paul T,

      Thank you.  I had my computer set that way.  I had several sites bookmarked from the very beginning with settings recommended by different folks for Windows 10 and that was one I set when I when first turned this computer on.  I never wanted to have to sign in because I never had to with Windows 7.

      I have always just let my computer go to sleep when idle.  I also have always let the mouse wake it up.  I like to just sit down, touch the mouse and in a nano second the desktop appears.  That is working fine again now since I changed the setting on the network adapter so it does not wake the computer.

      The only remaining mystery is why I can’t manually put the computer to sleep using one of the menus that appear from the START button.  One menu appears when I left click and a different menu appears when I right click on START, both have a sleep option and neither works.  The computer just restarts when I click on sleep.

      It doesn’t really matter I guess.  I just thought someone might know why it broke.

      I do not find that setting under advanced power settings.  I have windows home.  Maybe only windows pro has that setting.  I can’t find anything about password in the power settings section.

      I don’t know what “Wake on LAN” is.  Where is this setting?

      Another site referred to the same link you do but that seems to be about wanting to be able to wake the computer.  My problem is getting it to stay asleep.

      Could you just point me to the setting in Windows 10 that turns on “Wake on LAN”.

      Thank you.

      Well Sunday night until I found it awake and shut it down here is a sampling from the Event Viewer:

      –Background Intelligent Transfer Service keeps going back a forth from demand start to auto start

      –Hardly seems possible but there are even more DistributedCOM event 10016’s than usual

      –I uninstalled Xbox app but it won’t go away from the start menu so uninstalling app on windows 10 (Start>Settings>Apps>Xbox Game Bar> uninstall) does not work and Sunday night the computer was also awakened for this: Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: 9NBLGGH537C2-Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay

      –Also, this happened: Kernel-General event 16  The access history in hive \??\C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Provisioning\Microsoft-Desktop-Provisioning-Sequence.dat was cleared updating 0 keys and creating 0 modified pages.

      –Several times “The system is entering sleep event 42” would be followed one second later by “The system has resumed from sleep event 107.”

      –The Power-Trouble Shooter event 1 reported: Wake Source: Device -Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller several times.  Other times it reported source unknown.

      –I tried right click Start>Shut down or sign out>sleep. That did not work either, it signed me out.

      –I ran sfc scan and it was good, “Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.”

      –Using Device Manager, I uninstalled Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller, which was identified as the wake source.

      –I also uninstalled my display adaptor, Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630, because several places on the internet said this is often the cause of problems getting the computer to stay asleep.

      –I restarted the computer and the drives were reinstalled on these two devices.

      –I discovered that the Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller was set to wake the computer under Device Manager>Properties>Power Management tab.  I unchecked, “Allow this device to wake the computer.”

      TA DA that last was the problem.  I do not know how “Allow this device to wake the computer” got checked in the first place and don’t know how an update would cause that to happen but my computer has been able to go to sleep and stay asleep when the computer is idle. That is the sleep function I use.

      But still Start>Power>Sleep seems to sign me out and not put the computer to sleep.  I never used that until idle-to-sleep stopped working so I won’t miss it.  Don’t know why can’t just click sleep and it sleep.

      If anyone has any ideas about that I could use some help.

      Thank you.

    • in reply to: WinRing0_1_2_0 service #2224030

      Actually HP Analytics Service was the problem.  I stopped the service and changed it to manual start. All was well until I had to restart the computer then it started again.  So I went back and stopped it again and this time set it to “Disable”; it has not restarted, it does not try to load a program avery 15 minutes and  WinRing0_1_2_0 does not record an error every 15 minutes.

      Problem service was hp analytics:

      OK. GitHub had nothing to do with it. It was a coincidence that I happened to visit the NYT data page when this started.  Apparently, a lot of things use WinRing0 driver. I now find this happens first before I get the error:

      Log Name:      System

      Source:        Service Control Manager

      Date:          3/31/2020 5:30:02 PM

      Event ID:      7045

      Task Category: None

      Level:         Information

      Keywords:      Classic

      User:          SYSTEM

      Computer:      PC-Win10

      Description:

      A service was installed in the system.

      Service Name:  WinRing0_1_2_0

      Service File Name:  C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\hpanalyticscomp.inf_amd64_942053d68a2ba613\x64\OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys

      Service Type:  kernel mode driver

      Service Start Type:  demand start

      I finally found the HP Analytics Service was causing the check every 15 minutes and turned it off and changed it from automatic start to manual start.

      I stopped it when I found it and the last error recorded was at 5:30 and it is now 6:00, so I guess that did it.  I do not know what started it.

      I was wrong.  WinRing0 is a Windows driver.  I can’t find it in services or processes in Task Manager.  I don’t know where it is or why it keeps tying to start.  The Event Viewer lists the error every 15 minutes.

      This is a website with more info. https://www.file.net/process/winring0.sys.html

    • in reply to: Recovery Drive Creation #2211925

      I read through this post but could not determine if you ran SFC /SCANNOW .  I could not get my Windows 10 v 1909 to create and keep a restore point in System Restore.  I ran a sfc scan and found that there were corrupt Windows 10 files.  The sfc scan corrected them the first time.  That does not always happen.  Sometimes it is necessary to run it multiple times.  It only takes 15-20 minutes.  If or when that comes clean you can also run DISM scan but may not need to.

      Anyway, once the corrupt files were repaired, I could create a restore point.  I took it to mean that Windows did not want to accept corrupt files as a restore point, so it spit it out.  No point restoring computer to a time when it was corrupt.

      If you have already run sfc scan sorry to add my two cents where it is not needed.
