One of our clients has a Windows 8 Pro laptop. When we first installed Office 2013, we had many issues getting Outlook to run properly. After a few uninstalls using the Windows FixIt designed to remove Office entirely when the online repair fails, we finally figured out that Outlook was installing with XP compatibility by default (strange on a Windows 8 machine).
Now, apps run incredibly slow, seem to hang, and it's very difficult for the user to use. I have a feeling that the Office issue we had are what's causing these issues. The event log for this laptop is filled with the errors below.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
and if it happens again, I'm going to delete the srudb.dat file and see if Windows recreates it. I think it will and that will be a much easier fix. I'll bet my chkdsk /r caused the srudb.dat file to get recreated on boot, if it was even there after my chkdsk (I didn't look, sorry).
I just got over a very similar problem with a month old laptop with Win 8. I ran a chkdsk /r on the C drive after booting from a usb drive with the MDOP diag tools (you can boot from anything other than your boot disk so chkdsk can unmount it).
There were no physical disk errors reported in the OS, but I was getting same events you report, and chkdsk /r found only 3 errors, one of which was with c:\windows\system32\sru\srudb.dat
chkdsk replaced bad clusters in the file and in two other seemingly less significant files, and upon reboot all my problems were gone. The laptop was performing awfully, and the symptoms were such that it seemed like a disk error, but I believe it was an OS indexing error of the windows.edb file (search database). I see some ESENT entries in the application log now and it looks like it replayed some logs and the search service successfully started now, and all is well.
I was quite flustered, so didn't take the time to note all the details (it's my son's new laptop), but I can't believe it's fine now. You might search Technet for windows.edb repair or rebuild. I think the search service uses that for its database, and I think the problem is related to a metro app and maybe an associated driver. Anyhow, I'm finally past it!
Can't imagine not a single person knows something about how to solve this problem ?
Hi,
Is the Windows 8 Pro computer connected to a domain network?
If yes, please post your question here:

Please post with the issue status.
Mine is at home and not connected to a domain network and I get this entry in the Event Viewer every single second and sometimes multiple time a second. Event ID 454
svchost (1648) SRUJet: Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -509.
The number in parentheses varies
And no I don't have any virus in my system. I did check intensively and by rebooting in Safe Mode
