Event id 10016 every 10 minutes; how to resolve pls?

[zapp22]

friends I need a little guidance here. I seem to have one ill-behaved app that is causing an error 10016 every 10 minutes. Reading around about similar, it seems to be resolvable either by reassigning some path variables or by fixing a permissions issue.

Below I'm pasting one of the error logs - they are all identical - I've done that check so no point cluttering the thread with redundant log entries.

thanks for any guidance you can offer -

You may try it: Event ID 10016

BTW, what antivirus do you use?

 

[zapp22]

That link references server 2008 admin

Avast.

How to rundown which app the ID refers to ?

 

[Arc]

ATM you Uninstall Avast using Avast Uninstall Utility.
Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Does it make any change?

Has nothing to do with the issue

I guess you have tried it?

upload your MSINFO32.nfo file.

1. Click on the start button
2. Type "msinfo32" (without quotes) in the search bar of the start menu, click the resulting link. It will open the System Information window.
3. File>Save. In the "File Name" filed, put "MSINFO32" (without Quote), give the save location to desktop, and click the "save" button.
4. Give the time for processing, it will save a .nfo file on your desktop.
5. Zip it, and upload it following the instruction.

can do.
i have a CBS log [sfc/verifyonly] that reveals a few path, permissions issues. would that be better?

I would suggest that you follow the instructions at http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...4840-windows-update-posting-instructions.html
and post the results.

 

[zapp22]

is it an update problem? haven't noticed any issues d/l & installing updates. just trying to learn...

 

[NoelDP]

Probably not - but the troubleshooting steps are similar
