Windows 10: Random Reboots: the cplspcon service terminated with the following error: unspecified error

My PC keeps rebooting randomly. It also caused BSOD once.I consistently see the following error in the event viewer at the time of crash:"the cplspcon service terminated with the following error: unspecified error"I ran memtest against my RAM. No issues.Swapped out my SSDs and completely reinstalled Windows 10.Made sure all of my connections are good.Can't find the drivers I need for my processor.My PC still likes to reboot though, and I don't want to deal with BSOD again. Any help would be appreciated!SpecsWindows 10 HomeIntel 19-900kRTX 2080 Super32g RAM2x1tb M2 SSD850w PSU

Event Id 7023 Windows Anniversary Update - The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error

I am seeing the following in the event log

Event Id 7023 Windows Anniversary Update - The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error

The build is a new build, it appears even with a clean startup, chkdsk and sfc have shown there are no issues.

@Microsoft - it seems that you made a recent change to a service from manual to automatic with the anniversary edition - can you explain officially what we should do with these errors?

Also when searching for the error you get pointed to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/231604 that was for NT4

 

Event Id 7023 Windows Anniversary Update - The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error: Unspecified error

Hey everybody,

I got lost during your conversation. But I definitely found a solution for my problem!
Here it is:

Problem Description

• Event Viewer reports Event ID 7023:
  
  The Connected Devices Platform Service service terminated with the following error:
  
  
  Unspecified error
  
• Service "Connected Device Platform Service" cannot be started manually. Error message shown:
  
  Windows could not start Connected Device Platform Service service on Local Computer. Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error
• System (more specifically explorer.exe) hangs for about 1-2 minutes after Windows 10 was booted.
• Wireless Display Connection (WiDi) fails to connect.

Solution

In Settings -> Privacy -> General, option "Let apps on my other devices open apps and continue experiences on this device" is turned OFF. Turn this ON (which is the default setting) and all the problems listed above are
gone!

This problem shows me that the quality insurance of Microsoft really sucks since the release of 1511. The Anniversary Update has caused me multiple headaches and I really hate that I am forced to install "Feature Updates" which are so bloody buggy like ****.
The problem above is not the only one I am facing. And most problems have even been present after a complete clean install of Windows 10 1607.

Please mark this posting as solution if I was able to help you. Thanks.

With best regards,

Borkar

I had not linked the two threads.



The Event ID: 55 and 56 reports do not appear in the Event Viewer System log so you need to copy and paste a copy of one of the reports so that I cannot discover where they come.



Paragraph 2.33 of the General notes on Event Viewer:

This persistent and intriguing error appears in your System log.
