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

on my side I can confirm that what I did (see previous replies in this exchange) has solved the problem, at least on all the three PCs which we have at home. It is more than two months that I did the change and the error has not popped again.

To recap (solution applies to PCs, not to windows phones !):

• Uninstall the OneDrive App
• Search in your PC with windows explorer in the C: drive (or in the drive where Windows is installed) for the file OneDriveSetup
• Take the most recent version of this file in case you find more than one and click on it, it will reinstall the one drive
• restart the PC

done (at least in my three cases). 

 Thanks, but as already mentioned I did try that without any success. I still got the same error! Presumably the solution you mention works for some but not others. As the other workaround works for me I guess I can live with that but it's a shame 'Files on Demand' cannot be used until Microsoft find the root cause of this issue.

We appreciate your patience regarding this matter and we apologize if we took quite long to provide a reply.

It's great to know that the issue is now resolved. Thank you for sharing the workaround that fixed the issue that you're experiencing. It would be a big help for other community members who are also experiencing the same issue.

Feel free to post back if you have further questions or future concerns.

Hi Lawrence,

I haven't heard anything back from you for quite a while?

In addition to the above information in my last post I've been doing some further experimenting and tried a suggestion made by another person in this thread..

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".

I tried this myself last night and unchecked the 'Files on Demand' setting within the OneDrive settings window and Event ID: 2 has now stopped for me also. I've done 2 restarts and on both occasions the error is abscent. 

Clearly, as mentioned by others in the above posts OneDrive does have some teething issues, particularly since the Creators Update.
