Kernel-EventTracing error

Question

With the update to 1709 (Fall Creators) these errors pop up within minutes after each boot...

Session "Cloud Files Diagnostic Event Listener" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022

Session "" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022  (two instances)

SFC shows no integrity violations.   CHKDSK is clean.

What is causing these errors, which are likely benign, and what's the remedy?

Answer 1

Several restarts later and the above issue does now seem to be fixed :)

This is what fixed it for me...

On 11th November 2017, Hannu-K stated the following....

*"*I got rid of it only changing one OneDrive setting. I ensured in Settings tab that the Files On-Demand checkbox is not checked. This was enought for me and id 2 errors disappeared from the event viewer".

@ Microsoft

Please fix this ASAP so I can continue to use Files on Demand

Answer 2

This error, and perhaps the "sessions error" at boot as well, seems to be solved by following the procedure here.

Once the app has been reinstalled type "OneDrive" into the search bar <enter>, log in with your MS account and follow the prompts.

Answer 3

Hi

Yes,that onedrive icon in tray comes becase you have OneDrive installed.

Please try uninstalling it and see the error will be gone.

One drive comes as both a desktop and /or windows store app.

Try removing and see ,it can be installed again.

You are 100% correct, it is a OneDrive issue.  I simply disabled OneDrive in the Startup tab of Task Manager and restarted.  Nor more kernel event error.  While the event viewer was still open, I double-clicked on the OneDrive.exe file in Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive to start it manually.  Immediately, the 'Session "Cloud Files Diagnostic Event Listener" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022' showed up again.  I will assume it's a benign error, so I'll leave it be, but I do hope that Microsoft will look into it and stop advising customers to do clean boots, safe-mode boots, create new user profiless and re-install Windows.  You have obviously pinpointed the source of the error (Thank You), so the rest is up to them to fix.  It's sad to say, but based on all the various COM and other event viewer errors that continue to appear throughout all the Windows builds, I don't think MS will consider this to be a priority. :)

Answer 4

A total reinstall is not a practical solution to this benign error and likely would make no difference.  Others have reported it, so it's not unique to my system.  The error was never seen after earlier system upgrades.

Better to either ignore it or disable Kernel-EventTracing logging for now.

Hi,

Upon checking, the culprit for this issue might be a third-party application. Let's try performing a clean boot as this usually helps us determine if third-party apps are the ones causing issues on your computer.

Let us know if the issue still persists after performing a clean boot.

Hi

I have same error in Windows 10 fall creators Update. The root cause is Microsoft One Drive Desktop app. I remove /uninstall this error stops else its keeps up coming. So its not a 3rd party App but MS app which is responsible.

Please fix it.

It comes only one at time of start of PC.

Thanks
