Error: Event ID 1000 Faulting Application WUDFHost.exe

Hello all,

My first thread.

I have done a clean install and trying to clean up errors in Windows Logs.
I am not super sophisticated. I usually fumble around and do web searches to fix errors.

Please advise as this one i cant figure out.

Faulting application name: WUDFHost.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x501096c7

Welcome to the forum.

Open device manager. See if there is any yellow alerts of missing drivers.
Is your win 7 SP1?

WUDFHost.exe is related to framework. Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process
My suggestion is to install framework 4.7.2
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=863265

Thank you !

Yes - I have win SP1

Device manager shows yellow alerts next to portable devices. Four items each labeled WPD FileSystem Volume Driver.
attempting to update those drivers with an automatic search fails.

I have installed framework 4.7.2 but i am still getting five separate errors regarding WUDFHost.exe in windows application log upon bootup

I dont know if this is related (probably not) - i am also getting a consistent error in Windows log system
event id 7000 source service control manager The shoujizhushou service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

thanks for your continued help !!!!!

Lets do the basic:
- Schedule a disk check. Open a CMD window as admin and type:
chkdsk c: /f
It will say that the disk is in use and if you want to schedule to next start = Yes. Reboot
Pay attention on the results, specially bad blocks, bad clusters or bad sectors.

- do a system file check. Open a CMD window as admin and type:
sfc /scannow

Chkdsk cleaned up some errors.

Here is the CBS.log file /scannow reported errors it could not fix.
which is weird because I had already run it several days ago - go figure.

Thank you !

Some errors refer to

2019-02-28 08:25:52, Error CSI 00000391@2019/2/28:16:25:52.393 (F) d:\w7rtm\base\wcp\componentstore\storelayout.cpp(2714): Store corruption detected in function ComponentStore::CRawStoreLayout::FetchManifestContent expression: 0

What is D:\w7rtm\base\wcp\componentstore\storelayout.cpp ?

D: is an optical DVD drive.

i reran sfc /scannow and uploaded the log again just to be sure as I was trying to install a program on the drive and there may have been a dvd in it.

the dvd drive is now clear for sure.

Still hoping for assistance on last post.
Still getting error event ID 1000

Attached is a wudf.zip with the missing files. Expand to C:\Windows\System32

Wow. Amazing. It SEEMS to be fixed. If it is easy to explain how you figured that out, that would be wonderful. If not i will soon mark this resolved. Will wait a few days and watch the event viewer before i am certain.
