Windows 10: Event 6008, Event Log.

Hi ,


I found my PC in the restart condition and when I checked the logs I found Event 6008.


Message displayed " The previous system shutdown at 17:45:34 on 10/09/2019 was unexpected".


Log Name: System

Logged 10/09/2019 18:21:15.

etc.. Please check attached image.


Can you please help me with reason of event and why there are two time stamps?




If needed I can get the Details tab details.


Thank you

Event ID 6008, Windows 10 1809

Thanks for your reply Leocadia - I understand your suggestions thank you.

The point I was trying to make is our Win 10 Pro v1803 computers, log Event ID 6008 when an unexpected crash happens. However we have Win 10 pro v1809 machines that crashed when the power failed and did not record an Event ID 6008 so I was not able to tell
when the power actually failed, only when they were rebooted. - so my question is :- is this a bug in the 1809 release or by Microsoft design and has anybosy else experienced this situation ??

thanks Bob, IT Manager, Henry Riley LLP.

Hello

I have a constant problem that my pc hard locks with no dmp file or bsod, it happens while playing games, hard locks with sound loop then after a hard resboot there's a event is 6008 in the event logs.

System specs are.

All drivers seems to be up to date, no new software or apps installed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Event ID 6008, Windows 10 1809

We had a recent Power outage and I usually look for Event ID 6008 to tell me when the Unexpected shutdown occurred - I have looked at 5 PC's all affected by the power down and none have recorded a 6008, only 6009, 6005 & 6013 in that order.

I've simulated crashes and still 6008 not being logged.

This feature was active in 1803 but not being logged in 1809 - anybody else having this result ?
