I think your error is unrelate to my article.Make sure you have in "Folder Options" checked "Show hidden files and folders" or better way use any 3p file manager i.e Total Commander and empty folder C:\Windows\system32\Tasks,if problem repeat you have to diagnose which one soft cause this problem - you have to chek in event viewer>>Application section...

 

[brianzion]

thanks for your feedback

 

[brianzion]

cant resolve this problem

Go to Start>>Search>>services.msc and make sure Performance Logs & Alerts service is set to manual and try to run it manually.






EDIT

If Performance Logs & Alerts service work fine and stiill you have this problem then remove the folder C:\Perflogs

Did you delete folder C:\PerfLogs as I said in my previous post? I edited my previous post and I don't know you noticed it...

 

[brianzion]

do i delete the folder and its contents(if so where do the reports go?) or just the content? i removed all the schedule's in task schedule and tried that but that did not work so i put them back (its quite easy you export them to a folder for safe keeping then import them back.)

 

[Flavius]

do i delete the folder and its contents(if so where do the reports go?)

You have to delete the WHOLE this folder! System will rebuild this folder when you will create new system health report -don't worry!

 

[brianzion]

no that did not work

 

[brianzion]

The wait for the report generation tool to finish has timed out. same error i wonder if i can change "generation tool" timer?

it made another C:\PerfLogs folder and new reports are in there but its not showing the gui like normal? when it finishes i just get "The wait for the report generation tool to finish has timed out" error

Find key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Schedule key and then delete its subkeys

 

[brianzion]

is it this one?

this one

 

[Flavius]

becuase you have this one in your error

<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler" Guid="{DE7B24EA-73C8-4A09-985D-5BDADCFA9017}" />

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks\{DE7B24EA-73C8-4A09-985D-5BDADCFA9017}

click on this key and read to which one program belongs it

one example from my computer:

View attachment 90519

in this example as you can see task has been created by Windows Media Center

identify program,remove this key and check remains subkey.If any subkey relate to the same program too,then delete it too,and of course uninstall this program as well.

Not for all subkeys administrators have full access so to remove some keys sometimes you will need takeownership it Take Ownership of file - Vista Forums

 

[brianzion]

cant see it?

 

[Flavius]

In fact,there is no this key here

You have no choice -you have to delete all subkeys in this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule - when you will create new system health report system reconstruct these keys too but you have realize creating new report will take more time - in my virtual machine it was almost 30 minutes
