Windows 10: What do these msert.log errors mean

I recently ran Microsoft Safety Scanner a couple times following some strange behavior that may or may not have to do with my CMOS battery (System restore is not working... - Windows 10 Forums)

I noticed a lot of errors listed in the msert.log file. I was wondering if anyone can help me make sense of them (see attachment).

Thanks!

What does this error mean?

I want to suggest Avast gets off your system. I have many issues in 3 locations because of users installing Avast. Microsoft Security Essentials does the same job, and is free, too, without the headaches.

ANYWAY, now that's off my chest, I suggest you look into Sneekypeet's suggestion, as the WHEA-Logger entries are cpu-stability problems. The 7044, 7022, and 7023 errors are due to the system losing it's gourd. *Laugh :laugh:


But, Kriej has a good suggestion as well.

Event ID's can be easily identified via this portal:

Error Log Reading


Hi ankurshaswat.

Sorry I can't tell from logs but all data appears to be very old. Like September. Here is a list of quick fixes that can help from an MS article.

Quick fixes The following steps can resolve many Windows upgrade problems.

• Remove nonessential external hardware, such as docks and USB devices.
• Check all hard drives for errors and attempt repairs. To automatically repair hard drives, open an elevated command prompt, switch to the drive you wish to repair, and type the following command. You will be required to reboot the computer if the hard drive being repaired is also the system drive.
  • chkdsk /F
• Attempt to restore and repair system files by typing the following commands at an elevated command prompt. It may take several minutes for the command operations to be completed. For more information, see Repair a Windows Image.
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • sfc /scannow
• Update Windows so that all available recommended updates are installed, and ensure the computer is rebooted if this is necessary to complete installation of an update.
• Uninstall non-Microsoft antivirus software.
  • Use Windows Defender for protection during the upgrade.
  • Verify compatibility information and re-install antivirus applications after the upgrade.
• Uninstall all nonessential software.
• Update firmware and drivers.
• Ensure that "Download and install updates (recommended)" is accepted at the start of the upgrade process.
• Verify at least 16 GB of free space is available to upgrade a 32-bit OS, or 20 GB for a 64-bit OS.

Once you done all of the above could I suggest you follow this tutorial to install the upgrade. While non destructive I would recommend backing up all data off device.

Security check MSert

I ran MSert on my laptop and it did not stop file checking after 4 1/2 hours and viewing 617900 files. What is going on here
