Hi everyone!

This error appears every 2 or 3 minutes. What could be the reason for this and how can I solve it.

Thank you,

    Good morning Mr. RajithR!

    Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it..

    1. For hardware changes, none. For software changes I believe the user applied Windows updates.
    2. No codes were written. The error is showing even if the user is not working on any file or program.

    I will let you know once I am done performing Clean Boot - to determine the cause of the problem.

    Once again, thank you very much..

    Sincerely,

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Apologies for the late reply.

    We need more information to help understand the issue better.

    1. Were there any hardware or software changes made on the PC prior to this issue?
    2. Have you written a code or a script? Do you get this error message when working on files or any programs?

    Please check the issue in a Clean boot state.

    This helps eliminate software conflicts. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

    Important: After troubleshooting, refer to the section 'How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting'

    Let us know the results. We would be happy to help you further.
