Windows 10: Anyone know what "Forcing GE" means in the CBS Log?

I checked my CBS log today and it seems every day I am getting hundreds of the below type of entries. It seems to be for all versions of 17763.1 and for packages on that version. For all I know, this may have been going on since the 17763 public build release... and seems to cover my Win 10 Pro version and, as you can see, others. This is a very small sample of what I see in the logs.


Thanks for reading.

GE Force 6000 bogus error

Note: Please read whole message. If you respond to just the first sentence, you will have missed the problem.

When I run attempted to install Windows 10 on my Windows 8.1 (current to all releases) PC, it indicated I had a NVIDIA GE Force 6000. "The display manufacture hasn't made your display compatible with Windows 10. Check with the manufacturer for support".
I bought a new graphics card, installed it. It shows in my device list as a GE Force GT 740 which is a compatible device. I then attempted to install Windows 10 again and got the
exact same error message.

No such device NVIDIA GEForce 6000 is listed in my device list.

I can find absolutey no reference to this device on my PC or in any documentation on the mother borad or any other system documentation

Question: Why does the Windows 10 installer insist that I have this device installed on my PC.

Windows 8.1 Pro

AMD FX 8150 8 core Processor

16 GB installed RAM

Gigabyte GA-970-DS3 mother board

Device listed under "Display Adapter" in the device list: GEForce GT 740

As far as I know, Most people don't have the same problem as you do so there must be something wrong with your Windows.
If you wish, you can try:

1. Run: chkdsk /r C: ====> this will take a while, /r will scan the disk surface and mark all bad sectors so Windows will avoid using them.
2. Delete everything under: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
3. Run: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup ===> Clean up all old components store, advisable after every cummulative updates. This will free up disk storage space.
4. Run: sfc /scannow

The result should look as follows:
