I keep getting the same 2 event errors in Windows 8.1
I did find that when these 2 events happen is at the exact same time that WINDOWS DEFENDER runs a in the background a quick scan. I have checked 4 days in a row the first error is always exact time as Windows Defender scan and the other is a minute later. I can run Windows Defender manually without any errors. I don't know if Windows Defender is the cause, but the time the error happens it seems it might be. There seems to be no operational problem other then the Errors showing up in the Event Viewer.
Any help will be appreciated ,thanks

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That is one arrogant statement.
I ended up reading this thread because I was looking for root cause for the same error. And I do system r&d, design, and architecture for a living... for some 20 years now
The next time you hear a grinding sound out of your car's engine, just forget about it, it is still driving, right?
There is a difference between accepting a risk in an improperly working product and ignorance.
Hi Noel
According to my original research notes on Windows 8, those 2 scheduled tasks should be disabled until the first time you use Skydrive.
There is definitely a bug in those tasks with Windows 8.1.
Even with Skydrive enabled and working as expected, they still log the Dcom 10010 error each time they run?
I logged a bug report for this problem.
Regards
These are not insignificant errors. Something is wrong with those scheduled tasks from Skydrive. While failing, they prevent the PC to go to sleep with no power troubleshooter whatsoever. The only cure for now is to be on a local account and zap Skydrive completely. (Enable the 3 options in the skydrive group policy, disable the 2 sdrive scheduled tasks and sync in PC configuration. Please MS fix this! :)
Hi Ronnie
For some reason Im back to those 2 errors instead of duplicates of each, as I don't use Skydrive I disabled those 2 tasks all seems fine and no Errors, the weird part of this, every time those 2 errors appeared were always the exact time Windows Defender ran in the background but anyway they are gone.
thanks again
Have a happy Holiday
Ronnie Thanks
Hi Noel
I agree with you ! I haven't found any Issues, it appears to be cosmetic. BUT Event Errors are annoying to see them, I'm sure Microsoft knows that that the problem exist and it seem many people on the web with the same issue. I bet if there was errors with the Windows Store there would be a fix the next day.
I had my SSD brick on me so I reinstalled on my replacement SSD yesterday now instead of the 2 that I had now i got 4 now, twins of each of what I had before
I tried several things but only to find the settings are in order, so I guess we have to wait and see what happens..
