Thanks again! BTW ... I have not kicked off a Windows Update but there seem to have been some updates that came down. While there are still some outstanding issues would it make sense to try a Windows Update?

Windows Update will not run ... says service is not running but it is

They may well fail, but shouldn't cause any new problems if they do.
If you can hold off a wile, I should have the fix sorted tonight/tomorrow morning.

I'm having problems sourcing that last file
- simply can't find which update it came from!
Still - we can try getting rid of this error
in the meantime.(w) Unable to read Event Log 0x0000001F System
Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command -
MOVE C:\Windows\System32\winevt\System.evtx "%userprofile%"\desktop
upload the resulting file on your desktop to your reply, and reboot - then run another CheckSUR scan and post the resulting CheckSUR.log file

I was finally able to try this last step. First that file isn't in the location specified. There is a system.evtx file in C:\Windows\System32\winevt\logs\ but it won't let me move it because it's in use. I was able to copy it and then zip it. That's what I've attached here.
And I've attached the other logs as requested.Last edited by sgreenblatt; 13 Dec 2015 at 14:15.

The event log appears to be corrupt - try this....
Boot to Safe Mode, and run the following commands from an Elevated Command Prompt
SC STOP WECSVC
SC STOP WERSVC
SC STOP EVENTLOG
DEL C:\Windows\System32\winevt\System.evtx
Assuming the last command runs without problems, reboot and then post a new copy of the file.
If the command fails, post the exact error message.

Hi .. I wasn't able to stop WECSVC nor WERSVC (and of course I forgot to copy the exact error but the error was bc these services were not started). I was able to stop EVENTLOG but the delete didn't find the file in the location you specified. As I noted earlier, SYSTEM.EVTX is in c:\windows\system32\winevt\logs\ on my computer.
I went ahead and deleted that file, rebooted, but I still cannot copy it to the desktop bc it's in use. So I just went into Explorer and copied it to the desktop ... zipped it ... and uploaded it. I hope this gives you what you need.

Hi @NoelDP ... any updates? Thanks!!
23-Dec: Hi @NoelDP ... I still haven't tried to run a Windows Update but some updates are happening. When I started using my laptop this morning it had rebooted last night as a result of some updates. I'm still waiting for the green light from to move forward on running Update again and the Windows 10 update.Last edited by sgreenblatt; 23 Dec 2015 at 09:47.

No worries! I had feared that this case was just being overlooked.
I hope Noel has a speedy recovery! Happy New Year!
