Recurring Critical Events and Unexpected Shutdowns on Windows 11 System

Summary of the Problem: I am experiencing recurring critical events and unexpected shutdowns on my Windows 11 Home system. The critical events, as logged in Event Viewer, include:

1. Event ID 41 (Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power): The system reboots without cleanly shutting down first, indicating potential system crashes or power failures.
   
2. Event ID 161 (volmgr): Dump file creation fails due to errors during dump creation, hindering troubleshooting efforts.
   
3. Event ID 6008 (EventLog): Confirms the unexpected nature of previous system shutdowns.
   

System Information:

• Operating System: Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631
  
• Manufacturer: LENOVO
  
• Model: 82GN (LENOVO_MT_82GN_BU_idea_FM_Legion 5 17ARH05H)
  
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics
  
• Installed RAM: 16.0 GB
  
• Disk Health: Checked and verified by Lenovo Diagnostic and Samsung Magician software
  
• BIOS Firmware: Up to date (LENOVO FSCN28WW, 9/21/2023)
  
• Secure Boot State: On
  

Description of Attempts Made:

1. Hardware Diagnostics: Ran diagnostics to check RAM, CPU, and hard disk stability, all returned clean results.
   
2. Driver and Firmware Updates: Ensured all device drivers, chipset drivers, and firmware (BIOS/UEFI) are up to date via Windows Update, Lenovo Vantage, and Lenovo Diagnostic tool.
   
3. Overheating Monitoring: Monitored system temperatures and verified that overheating is not the cause of the issues.
   
4. Disk Health Check: Checked disk health using Lenovo Diagnostic and Samsung Magician software, all checks returned normal.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists, with recurring critical events and unexpected shutdowns disrupting normal system operation. Given the detailed troubleshooting steps taken, what further actions or recommendations would you suggest to diagnose and resolve these recurring critical events and unexpected shutdowns effectively?

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

Solution for reviewing Service Start/Stop events in Windows 11

Thanks for the suggestions.

1. Unfortunately, there is no option for Service Control Manager under Applications and Services Logs >Microsoft -> Windows on Windows 11
   
2. WPR may assist with this
   
3. As mentioned in my post, there are no events in the event logs. This suggestion was not helpful.
   
4. This would be a viable solution if the client had Active Directory or an RMM tool to deploy this to all their endpoints. Unfortunately, they have neither of these solutions.
   
5. I will look into this.
