Hi There,
Thanks for reaching out. I know how confusing and frustrating it can be to see repeated error messages in Event Viewer especially ones like 0xC0000022 tied to system sessions. You’ve done a great job identifying the issue and looking into the details.
It’s definitely unsettling when system-level events fail silently in the background. These kinds of errors can feel cryptic, and it’s totally understandable to be concerned about what they mean for your device’s health and stability.
The error code 0xC0000022 means Access Denied. In this case, Windows tried to start a tracing session but didn’t have the necessary permissions. This can happen due to:
Missing or restricted system files
Security software (like antivirus) blocking access
Disabled Windows services related to diagnostics
Group policy restrictions on managed devices
Here are a few steps that might help:
Run System File Checker Open Command Prompt as admin and run:
sfc /scannow
This checks for and repairs missing or corrupted system files.
Check Services Open services.msc and make sure these are running:
Event Tracing for Windows
Performance Logs & Alerts
Review Antivirus Settings Try temporarily disabling third-party antivirus software to see if it’s blocking the session.
Run as Administrator If this error appears when launching a specific app, try right-clicking and choosing Run as administrator.
Check Group Policy If your device is managed by an organization, group policies might be restricting access to tracing sessions.
let me know how if goes, happy to assist!
