Members

pwszDescription

Type: LPWSTR

A string that describes the problem that caused the incident.

rootCauseID

Type: GUID

The GUID that corresponds to the problem identified.

rootCauseFlags

Type: DWORD

A numeric value that provides more information about the problem.

Value	Meaning
RCF_ISLEAF 0x1	The root cause corresponds to a leaf in the diagnostics tree. Root causes that are leafs are more likely to be closer to the problem that the user is trying to diagnose.
RCF_ISCONFIRMED 0x2	The root cause corresponds to a node with a DIAGNOSIS_STATUS value of DS_CONFIRMED. Problems with confirmed low health are more likely to correspond to the problem the user is trying to diagnose.
RCF_ISTHIRDPARTY 0x4	The root cause comes from a third-party helper class extension rather than a native Windows helper class.

networkInterfaceID

Type: GUID

GUID of the network interface on which the problem occurred. If the problem is not interface-specific, this value is zero (0).

pRepairs

Type: RepairInfoEx*

The repairs that are available to try and fix the problem.

repairCount

Type: USHORT

The number of repairs available.
