    "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error


    Hi.
    Ever since the last Windows 10 major update, I get this error. It refers to the BootCKCL.etl file.
    Code: Event 3, Kernel Event-Tracing - Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188[/quote] I have done Inplace Upgrade and also fresh install and sfc /scannow.
    Nothing solved this issue. It keeps reappearing.
    In Performance Monitor > Startup Event Trace Sessions> I couldn't find what is controlling the BookCKCL.ETL file, therefore, I couldn't set a file size limit and make sure it's circular.
    When I delete this file, it gets created after every reboot and then gets to 100MB in size and then Event Viewer will complain about Event 3.

    Note: Some may recommend changing something with ReadyBoot.
    ReadyBoot is disabled. I'm using SSD and with all Win10 installations, I've yet to see ReadyBoot enabled at all.

    Either way, ReadyBoot doesn't seem to control the BootCKCL.etl file. It controls ReadyBoot.etl file, so I fail to see how increasing the file size limit will work in this case.

    Also, this doesn't seem to really be a solution, since this is CIRCULAR logging, meaning once the file limit has been reached, the re-write/re-create the file from the beginning.

    It seems that the root cause of this issue is something else. So file size limit won't work here and is not the real solution. The question is "Why doesn't it circulate the log?" even if it was 2MB, it should circulate.

    Moreover, ReadyBoot, which is DISABLED by default, is set to 40MB and the log mode is Circular, yet as I have stated previously, my BootCKCL.etl file is reaching 100MB, which clearly means that something else controls the file size and NOT ReadyBoot.


    I wonder if someone else experiences this issue and if anyone has an idea if this is solvable or not and what could control the file size.


    Is this a known bug of Windows 10 latest update?
    What is controlling this file and it's size?

    :)

    The Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188 I back from the death. I just turn on my computer and is heavy

    I want to try to get these fix since more and more windows errors are starting to appear.

    these is one

    The maximum file size for session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" has been reached. As a result, events might be lost (not logged) to file "C:\Windows\system32\WDI\LogFiles\ShutdownCKCL.etl". The maximum files size is currently set to 20971520 bytes.

    And com. is annoying.

    I try all. IF someone from MS can see these and help me to make these go away I can arrange something. so we can work these out.

  3. error following an update

    Hi Patricia,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    The error code suggests the issue to be of Windows Updates. I suggest you to
    Run the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool which fixes the Windows corruption error if there are any. Follow the steps:


    • Press Windows+X.

    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type the command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
      and hit Enter.
    If the issue still persists, then let us know and we'll be glad to help.
