Windows 10: DevCon UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevicesW API logs Error in event viewer even on success.

Hi, I have recently noticed that if we use devcon.exe C:\Program Files x86\Windows Kits\10\Tools\10.0.22621.0\x64 to install a kernel mode driver then though installation is successful and driver is in running state but still it logs an error event in event viewer with following details.On debug I've found that as soon as below API gets called we see error entry in event viewer. Even though API returns success.if!UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevicesWNULL, hwid.c_str, infpath, flags, &reboot {{}I have checked devcon install with windows sample driver as well,

EVENT VIEWER ERRORS

I have a massive list of errors on the Event Viewer Log particularly but not only under Administrative Events. Errors are categorized under DistributedCOM , AppModel-Runtime and/or WindowsUpdateClient amongst others. Will someone please tell me what
I can do to rectify these. As far as I can tell, these errors first appeared on the Event Viewer Log in October 2015 when my 8.1 machine was upgraded to Windows10 and they are llisted on the log since then. I am very worried about this.
