Application Error - Windows Logs - Event ID: 1000 (Win 10 related)

Hello Forum,

I'm getting a error in the Windows Logs - Application that appears to be related to the Win 10 free upgrade push. Without removing all the Win 10 updates to my Win 7 Pro x64 system, I'm looking for a way to resolve the error.

This is a Win 7 clean install return from Win 10.

Does anyone have a solution?

I would try to correct the error by running sfc /scannow, if that doesn't fix the problem you may have other file corruption/manifest issues; check the log located in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Another possibility would be to uninstall/reinstall KB3035583. Disabling the GWX associated tasks in Task Scheduler is a bit of a problem, see this post for the gory details.

Me? I'd just uninstall KB's 2952664 & 3035583, hide them & be done with the Win 10 upgrade nuisance.

Well, I've run SFC /scannow several times and it doesn't appear to affect the error. There must be some undetectable, other than the error, corruption issue. Interestingly, KB3035583 failed on the first attempt to install. But, subsequently installed successfully.

I just performed a clean install less than a week ago. During the install, I moved the Users folder and ProgramData folder to the D: using the Microsoft AIK. This is acceptable with Microsoft from what I understand for Win 7. Supposedly, it's not acceptable to move the ProgramData folder with Win 10. I've noticed that after the move, which was successful, and the downloading of updates, which had about 15 initial failures, a duplicate ProgramData folder for Windows Search was created on C:. Perhaps some of these Win 10 upgrade updates are causing the corruption, because my OS configuration wasn't to their liking.

I think there are more than just two Win 10 upgrade nuisances. I think I've seen a list with about eight or ten. Are they all recommended updates? If so, I could attempt another clean install with Windows update set to on install important and above updates.

The only update listed above that I've installed is the "latest" update to the Windows Update Client KB3112343 (which is updated on a monthly basis; see "superseded" list above)... YMMV.

Mods: Please delete.

OK, I removed those six updates and hid them when they reappeared in Windows Update. After rebooting several times and then checking for updates to confirm they are toast for now, I got a new update: KB2882822. Does this update have anything to do with Win 10 upgrade?

Thanks for all the help.

Regards

Thanks again, that's good information.

I've allowed the update to install.

My original issue appears totally resolved after removing those six Win 10 upgrade updates and I no longer have to look at that Win 10 Upgrade icon in the system notification area.

I'll mark this thread as solved.

Thanks again for all your help.
