SOLIDWORKS-DTS.evtx will not go away. I have deleted it several times but it reappears.

Hi Michael MMMM，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Understanding that you have tried many ways to uninstall SOLIDWORKS-DTS.evtx with no success, I suggest you to try a complete uninstallation of SOLIDWORKS using the Microsoft fixit tool:

1. Download the Microsoft fixit tool from this link:
   

Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed - Microsoft Support

1. Run the downloaded tool and click Next
   
2. Click Uninstalling
   
3. In product selection select ' SOLIDWORKS (version) ' and click Next to follow uninstallation process
   
4. Repeat the process until all the versions of SOLIDWORKS and all the SOLIDWORKS products are uninstalled
   
5. Try installation of SOLIDWORKS
   

Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.



Best regards

Solidworks help needed.

Lazzer408, I might can help. I use Wildfire Pro-E 4.0 3D modeling at work. Depending on the complex nature of the case I may have time to do it. Pro-E can export to Solidworks models or other formats include STEP,Parasolid,CATIA, or IGES. If you could send a sketch or PDF I can tell you if I have time for it.

 

consent.exe periodically working on Solidworks fonts folder

Hi, I have installed Solidworks on my PC's secondary HDD and consent.exe (and others, but baby steps for now) kinda regularly (and frequently) accesses a fonts folder located in the Solidworks installation, thus creating apparently unnecessary activity on my drive.

From what I have seen online, consent.exe should be related to UAC (the path displayed by procmon is C:\WINDOWS\system32\consent.exe so it should not be a virus), so why on earth does it run automatically and periodically without me ever using Solidworks, and why does it so only for that exact folder?? Is there a way to control this kind of activity?
I can provide procmon screenshots if needed.

Thanks to anyone that will help, this is driving me crazy
