Software-initiated NTFS 55 Errors
Win 7 64-bit Ultimate on Dell XPS8300 I have noted a number of adhoc NTFS 55 errors (System disk corrupt etc.-run Chkdsk) in my logs. The first lot seemed to be caused by a scheduled job DEFRAG running against my long-time defragmenter Diskeeper. I therefore disabled the scheduled job and also the Defrag service, since when it has not recurred. However, I have had another crop of 55 errors. A close examination of the Scheduled Tasks log against the System Error log shows that the timing of the errors is simultaneous with another Scheduled Task LPREMOVE (MUI) running. This is some routine to remove unused Language Packs, as I understand it. The curious thing is that LPREMOVE's trigger is "run on start-up", yet it has kicked off hours after a startup, apparently at a random time. I have therefore disabled the Scheduled Task, and wait to see results. I have also:- - run CHKDSK several times, which reveals no errors - run Seatools disk tests - no errors - run Dell disk tests - again, no errors - run Malwarebytes and Avast scans - nothing reported - examined every log I can think of that may show something - checked that KB2823324 isn't installed My questions therefore are these:- 1) does anyone else have any experience of this problem, and by implication, information or suggestions? 2) is the random running of scheduled tasks something which others have experienced?
