wondering if any of you can clue me where to start looking for a cause of a LOT of repetitive errors, seemingly coming at the tick of the clock - in other words the system is generating the same error dozens of times per second. All of the errors I've looked at so far, with just a few exceptions [about as many as on a "healthy" windows 8 system] seem to be Event ID 7000. These errors go back to mid-February and have continued until now. The system would run, but slow. Checking install log, back in February, Silverlight plus C++ runtime were installed. nothing else. I don't know if that is related to the errors, but it is what it is.
Secondly: from what I have read here and many other places around the web the Windows 8.1 'refresh' function is not advisable. what I see is that it provides no assurance of a clean install, can damage apps and files, and the user applications, customizations, personalizations will need to be reinstalled. to me, that sounds like a leading indicator for doing a clean install period, from scratch. correct?
thank you
