Someone on here I thought was helping me in several posts back he has a photo on his avatar the older white man wonder where he is?

I did not follow up on your problem as you seemed to be preoccupied with PA Bear.

Your Event Viewer report from 4 days ago suggests that the original problem may be resolved. I would need to see a later copy of your Event Viewer System log to see whether there are any remaining problems to be addressed.

You have an unrelated problem highlighted by this report.

Log Name:      System

Source:        Microsoft-Windows-PNRPSvc

Date:          06/10/2014 19:15:11

Event ID:      102

Level:         Error

Description:

The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.

Solution:

Researched the problem and found the solution. A file was corrupted and deleting it got the PNRP service running.  The file was recreated correctly when the PNRP service started up.  Here's the file for future reference:

"C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

    You have managed to install a lot of Windows Updates but the process may have stalled. There should be more to come.

    Please restart your computer, allow 30 minutes for the system to run before uploading further information so that the impact of making changes can become apparent.

    Please upload and share with everyone fresh copies of your System and Application logs from your Event Viewer to your One Drive (formerly Sky Drive) and post a link here. You can remove the earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.

    I have noticed that your pagefile is being reported with sizes that are difficult to understand. The System Information file says it was 488gb on 6 October. On 29 October it is 48.8gb. Your RAM is 8gb so it should be a figure of about 8gb.

     

    What are your settings for your pagefile. If you able to post an image like the one above that would help. To access the window select Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced System settings, Advanced tab, Performance –Settings button, Advanced, Virtual Memory – Change button.

    I would change the pagefile to have the same initial and maximum size at 8gb.

    For good performance it is far better to use RAM as reading and writing to the pagefile is far slower.

    Don't forget the updated Event Viewer logs.
