    File System Filter 'wcifs' EVENT ID 4


    Hi, When I run the error checking tool in windows for my SSD I always end up with this error in event viewer. Error checking found no problems and even system file checker didn't found any problems. I think it started after I installed Malwarebytes and MY PC ended up with a BSOD but now I removed malwarebytes and still receiving this error.

    :)

  2. After 2+ days of troubleshooting, was finally able to successfully upgrade to Windows 10 Creator Version 1709

    Hi, I am also not able to update Windows with the latest Fall Creators Update and my system freezes also at 75%.

    I already dit a complete reinstall of my system and even when restarting from a clean windows system (v1607), I get the same thing.

    I also have a Ralink WLAN network card. So I definitily going to try your solution.

    However, I wanted to know if you can find anything in the logbooks that would explain this behaviour.

    I looked into mine and I find this warning, just before the service control manager fails and the whole system freezes:

    "File System Filter 'wcifs' (Version 10.0, ‎2016‎-‎09‎-‎15T17:42:03.000000000Z) failed to attach to volume '\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1'. The filter returned a non-standard final status of 0xC000000D. This filter and/or its supporting
    applications should handle this condition. If this condition persists, contact the vendor
    ."

    Do you also have this warning?

    Have you tried anything like this: How to fix File System Filter WCIFS failed with Event ID 4 (Windows 10) - wintips.org - Windows Tips & How-tos

    Thx!

    Peter.

    FilterManager Errors During Installation of Cumulative Updates

    Thanks for the reply, Phillipe. It may be that the update simply stopped the wcifs filter, which then prevents any further warnings to be sent to the windows log. You can check the status by opening an Admin Command Prompt and typing "sc query wcifs"
    When I stop the wcifs filter ("sc stop wcifs") and set the startup to "disabled" ("sc config wcifs start= disabled") I no longer get the warnings in the windows log but, like you, I continue to get the System Volume Information folder filling with files generated
    while Carbonite is active. If I pause Carbonite both the warnings cease and the files in the System Volume Information are no longer generated. So I don't know whether it is a problem with Windows or with Carbonite or with both. I am up to date with the
    updates for Windows 10 and still have the problem with both the warnings in the windows logs and with the files being generated in the System Volume Information folder if Carbonite is active. But, as I said, I can at least get rid of the warnings by stopping
    the wcifs filter using the command line given above, but that does not solve the main problem of the System Volume Information folder filling up with files.

    Hi, I have the same warning in the event viewer. It started like you a few days ago, but after updating bios (not installing and using malware bytes. This error seems to appear every time the system accesses to Volume shadow copy (automatic restore points creation, defrag, ecc...). I'm investigating why this happened, but I can't understand well.
    I have a laptop Dell Ispiron 5559. What pc do you have?

    Hi,

    I think Edward may be correct that it is a bug/glitch with windows and not hardware/software.
    This happened to 5 days ago and I've tried everything including what Edward and fdegrove suggest and no joy.
    Been getting Id 2 and 3 as well as 4 though not at same time though not on same install. I have done a fresh reinstall at least 4 times and checked to see if a program was doing it by restart and check. Only got Id 3 once but 2 and 4 always appear shortly after reinstall. I found that it only happens when I try to create a restore point or system image.
    Unfortunately this does prevent system restore from working although creating a restore point seems to work but then flags up this issue.
    Of course I tried everything before reinstall and each time it happened after careful checking if it was software I was installing but came back when regardless of that software not being installed to a point I now belive it isn't related to that.
    I installed windows on a different ssd and same issue so final test I did last night was secure erase on ssd's, reset bios/ cleared cmos and reinstalled again and came back when did image so tried restore and Id 2 came back also.
    For the fact nothing had been changed and it just appeared on Sunday and reinstall didn't fix, as well as others online having same past week, i do think it's a bug that I hope Microsoft fix in next update.
    I am one those that checks event view each time I boot up and never had before and restore worked a month ago when used but not now.
    Unless it's a motherboard fault which I doubt because restore works to begin with and others in this time frame with similar issues. At least it's just a warning but not being able to system restore if I wanted sucks.
    Sorry for the wall of text, had this for 5 days and finally think it's on Microsoft's end, just wanted to share

    Check out on my system specs *Smile I tried on my gaming PC and on my Acer laptop and my dad's Asus laptop and all had that error in the event viewer after i did the error checking so it's more likely its a Windows 10 bug *Smile

    Right, started getting this error few days ago too, and today i needed system restore and it fails due to this apparently *Sad
     
  15. Juans Win User
    Well, it's a windows bug and not my pc issue *Biggrin
    So, now it's not possible to restore the system from a system restore point?
