Windows 10: How to manually remove leftover files with Admin command prompt...

Raner,
If your still getting the event id 7023, then disable the two Connected Devices Platform Services and reboot PC.

Open Command Prompt as Admin
sc config CDPSvc start=disabled
sc config CDPUserSvc start=disabled

 

Thanks Eagle 51... I did it but, its still there...

 

Obviously a different 7023, than the Connected Devices Platform one *Sad
You might want to check your system, if you haven't done so recently.

Open Command Prompt as Admin ... run each command and wait for it complete.
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
chkdsk /f /r

Note: These can take awhile to run, so be patient *Smile

 

Had done, the first one, did the second one, and I have ssd's so the third one is out...
I found how to fix it online...Thanks Eagle for the suggestions...
I'm down to this...*Wink

 

I'm down to 2...







You can install or repair the component on the local computer. (But How)...*Tongue Out
This is getting my attention...
This PC was upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 with the free upgrade...
When I did the change I did, Keep all files and install windows 10...
Could this error be from the old windows 7... I don't think so but just me thinking out loud...
The description for Event ID 875 from source Application Popup cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.The following information was included with the event: aswSP.sys
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table








This one kicking my BUTT...
My computer is running fine, Just trying to get rid of all the errors...
This one seem's pretty tough to figure out...
Found this on this error...
Looks dim to me...
Blue Screen - Windows NT - Microsoft: NT Workstation - Tek-Tips
I posted all I thought was pertinent to trying to fix this error...
What's you all's thinking on this error?... Thanks...

Side Note...
If I rename the WinSrv dill and run, sfc /scannow or dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.
Will a fresh WinSrv dill be installed?

 

I wouldn't mess with the WinSrv.dll. Do you have or did you have any 3rd party Antivirus installed (Avast maybe)? The aswSP.sys appears to be associated with Avast.

 

Hi Eagle... I had Avest a long time ago... I think it was when windows 7 was in this machine... For a while now, I've been running Malwarebytes ...

 

You may or may not have left over Avast folders from back then, but you might try Avast Removal Tool or Avast Clear.

Edit: Autoruns might help to see if that aswsp.sys is still be loading, just be careful with it.
Autoruns for Windows

 

Avast was uninstalled years ago, Looks like the uninstaller left a driver behind.
I found the avast driver today...
It should not be running, but I don't want to mess up my windows ten, so figured I'd get an opinion.
I don't think deleting it would cause a problem but better safe then sorry...

 

I'd err on the side of caution and just move the aswTdi.sys and aswSP.sys out of \system32\drivers to a backup folder, then reboot. We Don't know if there is a registry entry for them or not. Autoruns.exe (run as Admin) can help you with that, to see what/if anything it shows about them.

Note: If you don't have current backup image, I strongly suggest you make one. Macrium Reflect Free is what I use and is what most here will recommend.

 

Well Eagle, I knocked out both drivers. PC is booting fine, but the event viewer is still picking up something the same error message is still showing up... POS avast...*Tongue Out
I checked out Autoruns but I'm going to need to educate myself pretty darn well before I use it... (Seems very dangerous, if you don't know all the in's and out's of the program... (Of what I saw, if you mistakenly unchecked something you could be in deep do-do...
Is there another tool that will search for drivers and paths. Thanks...

 

Nah, it is pretty safe. If you untick something it remains but is disabled (doesn't run). You can add it back by ticking it again. You only delete things by right click and selecting delete.

Assuming your system still boots of course *Wink

If you stick to disabling non-MS stuff you'll be OK most likely - you'll only break 3rd party stuff. I never had problems anyway and I'm pretty cavalier...

 

Hi,lx07... OK just to be sure. Tick do not show windows files or something like that. (Sorry I don't have the program installed any more).
Then nothing I do will effect by booting (correct). Because I'm just seeing programs none essential to windows. If something would not load and effect by boot then
booting in safe mode should let me get back in to correct the problem. Just want to be sure on this... Thanks for the reply...

 

That's right - there is an option that says "Hide Microsoft Entries" you can tick. What is left are safe(ish) to disable and your system will most likely boot - it will only break the application it is related to. That has been my experience.

I've never had not boot into safe mode to re-enable non-MS stuff although it is possible I suppose.

You could always make a system image before changing things and if it all goes horribly wrong restore that.

 

OOOOOOOKKKKKKKK..Ix07... I got it... let me go grab it again and see what is shows on this avast leftovers... Thanks...
