Windows 10: Windows 10 ESENT 474 event corrupted local datafiles WebCache, Catalog, etc .. + strange...

Hi,


I've been searching desperatly for a solution or at least to locate the issue, because recently I built up a new PC :

• Motherboard Asus ROG Strix z390-e Gaming
• CPU Intel Core CoffeeLake 9700k
• GPU Asus NVIDIA RTX2070 SUPER
• 2x8 Go Corsair RGB RAM 3200MHz
• 2x 1 To Samsung 970Evo Plus M.2 SSD

I installed with the Windows image tool creation from by previous PC, a Windows 10 Professional. Have a paid and valid license, activated it.


And after like few days of use without any problem, it began. The curse came in.

I started to have apps randomly crashing, some queries over HTTPS TLS failing Firefox says : SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ, Edge works better, but I still have issues on some websites, … In the Windows Events Viewer I can see a lot of error ESENT types, picking you some examples :


- ESENT event 474 : WebCacheV01.dat : READ failed, checksum issue.

- ESENT event 474 : UnistoreDB\store.vol : Same, READ failed, checksum issue.

- ESENT event 474 : DataStore.edb : same


It leads to other ESENT errors because process fail after trying to read the db/file. A wild guess here, is it have something to do with checksums calculations being wrong because of my issue even local certificate signature cheking for reading in these databases probably failing ?


NOW, here is the long list of what I tried :

- Reinstall a fresh Windows 10 from the Recover tool in Windows 10 : Nothing changes

- Updated all my drivers from the official Motherboard ASUS website

- Updated BIOS and checked time sync : OS and BIOS time OK.

- Tried various SCAN Tools Rootkit tool, RAM/HDD/CPU/ checker MemTest, CHKDSK, Gmer, CCleaner, HDScan, … : Appears to have no problem : wow

- Tried ANOTHER connection, sharing my 4G mobile internet via USB : still have the issues. So issue in local.

- Tried to BOOT on Linux Mint or Ubuntu USB key live : each time I have a RIP error or Segmentation Fault, I can't boot up on Linux. Strange as well, have to dig more here.

- Tried to enable/disable different TLS/SSL versions in Internet Options

- Tried to check for bad certificates in my local certificate store : all seems to be pretty by default.

- Wanted to disabled EMS or change Cipher priority order for Windows, : on this one I'm not sure I did the things right, I 've seen no change.

- Tried to run DISM and SFC Windows integrity repair Tools, these detected Nothing wrong and completed to 100%

- Tried to disable Windows Defender/Firewall

- Tried to stop one by one, stoppable Services, to see if one was tampering my TLS/SSL encryption operation.

- I'm sure I did try other things, but I'm tired and I will add these when I remember.


now I found a subject of a fellow, who apparently have the same symptoms :

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/4396fz/windows_10_strange_tls_ssl_errors_very_stuck/


The post ends with no solution, but a lot of search, and I could test some things based on that. Like DannyRCDW said, I'm also willing to pay a Bounty at this point. It's totally insane.


Please, if you read me, have you any idea of what's could going on here ? I'm out of idea.


Thanks,

Alex

My PC keeps freezing for ~1 min and I keep getting Event 533, 510, 508(ESENT) and 129(iaStorA)

Alright, i did some more tests.

Disabling Google Drive didn't solve the issue.

Clean installed Windows 10 twice diretly to Anniversary Update.

The first time, i have installed all my softwares. Issue persisted.

The second time, i have installed only the basics and blocked further updates from Octomber 10 (becouse i didn't notice this issue on that date). Issue persisted.

Most of the time its about an SO read/write delay in these files:

ESENT 533: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.jfm

ESENT 533: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\V01.log

ESENT 508: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\V01.log

ESENT 508: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.jfm

ESENT 508: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppData\Indexed DB\IndexedDB.jfm

ESENT 508: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\EDB.log

ESENT 508: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\vedatamodel.jfm

ESENT 510: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\V01.log

ESENT 510: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.jfm

Sometimes this file also appears in the logs:

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Comms\UnistoreDB\store.vol

Its too much coincidence to be a faulty SSD. My last attempt will be replacing it with my old one.

After some digging on the internet, i couldn't find much about it. Whats going on? Its just me and the OP?

Two ESENT event errors happening several times a day??

After doing a bit of research it appears that the WebCache is being corrupted. You might want to scan your PC with Malewarebytes Free to see if you've picked up a PUP. Here is where I found some info although you've probably already looked here:
