The description for Event ID (
100 ) in Source ( Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance
) could not be found.
Either the component that raises this event is not installed on the computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component or
try to change Description Server.
You will find many instances of similar text in many other Event Viewer reports. These are not limited to Event ID: 100 reports. The text I have highlighted in red are variables, in that
you can find identical text with just the red text differing. The blue text is something I have not noticed hitherto.
I have placed below a similar but different example below to illustrate how this block of text, part of the description in many Event Viewer reports, can vary.

MSSQLServerADHelper cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component
on the local computer.
In this example what is highlighted in blue is frequently found.

I am current building a database of Event Viewer reports with the intention of cataloguing solutions. If you have any thoughts as to how you might carry out the suggestion that
You can install or repair the component on the local computer then I would be very interested.
I have noticed your other message relating to Event Viewer. I shall be away until Tuesday. I will see if I can offer any suggestions / comments there on my return.
On the question of resolving freezes
please provide a copy of your System Information file. Type
System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is
located. Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute
or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. Reports in normal mode preferred. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.
Please upload and share with everyone copies of your
System and Application logs from your Event Viewer to your OneDrive and post a link here.
To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window expand Windows
Logs and select System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and
Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do
not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do
not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.
