You asked the following, I hope it came up with a reasonable solution, or at least a different place to look at..

Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-DeviceSetupManager/Admin Source: Microsoft-Windows-DeviceSetupManager Date: 9/30/2024 5:41:25 PM Event ID: 122 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: User: SYSTEM Computer: redacted Description: Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy Event Xml: http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> 122 0 3 0 0 0x4000000000000000 6341 Microsoft-Windows-DeviceSetupManager/Admin redacted

The warning you received from the Device Setup Manager indicates that access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by a policy. This can happen for several reasons:

1. Group Policy Settings: If your computer is part of a domain, group policies might be configured to restrict access to certain updates, including drivers. Check with your IT administrator if you're in a managed environment.
2. Local Security Policy: If you're on a standalone machine, local security policies might be set to prevent driver updates through Windows Update. You can check this by going to the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and navigating to:
   • Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.
3. Windows Update Settings: Ensure that your Windows Update settings allow for driver updates. You can check this in:
   • Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options.
4. Registry Settings: Sometimes, registry settings can block driver updates. You can check these settings in the Registry Editor (regedit), but be cautious when editing the registry.
5. Third-Party Software: Some third-party security or management software may impose restrictions on driver updates.

To resolve this issue, you might consider adjusting the group policy settings or checking for any restrictions in your Windows Update settings. If you're unsure, providing more context about your system (e.g., domain-joined or standalone) might help in troubleshooting further.

i have same issue with my registry and its crashing my game any help would be appreciated

Ive had various issues over time and all of them, all except this one, have eventually been fixed after some update - but this one still results in over 100 error level events each and every day.

Yes it's annoying and hard to understand why it still hasnt been fixed - the Feedback Hub seems a wase of time, and even posting here is useful only to see you're not the only one with a problem - posters are spotting this event in the viewer because its so common but its nothing to do with crashes and other issues mentioned.

"Yep! this is clearly a MS problem which will never be fixed as Windows 10 is practically dead now - 1 year to go and MS don't care.

MS is gradually killing Windows"

100 per cent correct my friend

Many people have wasted a lot of time on the correlation myth. There is a famous quote about it that makes it clear. "Almost 100% of killers ate bread in the week before their kills. Therefore bread causes murder."

Actually, a great deal of murders do happen over "bread" :)

Regarding the event viewer, this is often used by Indian call center scammers to demonstrate that your computer has a virus. A lot of people have never looked in there to see the shear amount of warnings and errors generated on a daily basis. It still beggars belief that even computer illiterate people can be caught by this, as when they've charged hundreds to fix the problem the event view will still show the same error messages.

LOL, agreed if your definition of Bread includes Money then it is not a myth its a fact ;) :)

Also spot on with regard to the Indian Call Centre scammers. The "oh look at all these errors if you pay me I will fix them" scam.

A very long time ago, back when the scammers first started using the "I am calling you from Microsoft..." line, I was discussing them with a friend who actually worked in Microsoft and I said it seemed unlikely Microsoft would be calling a member of the public to tell them problems had been found on their PC. He fell off the chair laughing and said, Zero Chance. If you are not paying us Big Money to do so we don't get out of bed.

Whilst MS is infamous for its software calling home with all your juicy details of every device and driver and piece of software on your PC there is very little evidence that anyone is proactively monitoring the minor issues and zero evidence that anyone in MS is ever going to fix them.
