win7 Is this normal?

[Xtreme2damax]

So I decided to start anew since I think I broke some things or at least made performance worse somehow with my Windows 7 install. I shrunk my main Win7 partition and created a new 200GB partition then installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and from there it went like this:

 

- Move/backup files on the old install to other drives such as Steam games, saves and other files.

 

- Copied some files over to new install/partition but not too much since I only temporarily made the partition for 200GB.

 

- Installed Steam, Google Chrome, Nvidia and Creative Sound Blaster drivers, Visual C++ Redistributables, updated DirectX and installed Windows updates.

 

- Once data is backed up, games deauthed and anything else transferred I delete the partition with the old install.

 

Big mistake there, ended up deleting BootMgr and spent a bit getting the system to boot again. Then I use EaseUS free partition manager to resize and join the partitions together. Boot into Windows and notice cpu usage is fairly high and is being caused by mscoresvw and made another mistake terminating the processes as I was trying to play a game and the usage was impacting performance. Reboot and I was facing blue screen crashes right before the login screen. So after a bit of fiddling and nearly realizing it was futile I ran a chkdisk using the recovery console in the repair tools on my Win7 disk. Chkdsk finds corrupted files and errors then proceeds to fix them and I reboot. Upon rebooting I am once again able to login into my Win7 install without a blue screen so it seems like it was a success then I ran sfc /scannow which finds no issues. Then I run Windows update to finish installing remaining updates, I'm browsing the internet on Chrome and check Windows update progress to notice it was hanging on installing Internet Explorer 10 for a while but eventually completes. That brings me to inquiring on whether or not the following warnings are normal in the event manager and if it's anything I should worry about..

 

Application 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe' (pid 248) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID..

 

Application 'C:\Windows\explorer.exe' (pid 1556) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID..

 

Application 'C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe' (pid 4056) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID..

 

The winlogon notification subscriber <TrustedInstaller> is taking long time to handle the notification event (CreateSession).

 

The winlogon notification subscriber <TrustedInstaller> took 91 second(s) to handle the notification event (CreateSession).

 

The winlogon notification subscriber <TrustedInstaller> failed a critical notification event.

 

I'm not sure if these are normal and whether or not I should worry, I was worried something might still be corrupted. Other than those warnings everything seems to be running fine after running chkdsk so maybe the warnings aren't anything out of the norm indicating there is an issue.

 

Unrelated to the above but I also get an error about Steam being unable to poke an open firewall.

Try clearing the System/Application event log and rebooting. Use the PC as normal and then check back to see if you are still getting errors. Is the PC operating normally now, is performance okay?

With the winlogon event check what you have running on startup, is everything starting okay? The winlogon event is likely to be something failing to start after clearing the event log and rebooting is there any indication what program/service it might be?

All of them are warnings except for one which is about Steam being unable to poke an open firewall which is the only error but is not critical. So far everything seems to be running fine and I've copied all my Steam games back the drive of my Windows installation. I was looking for feedback in regards to whether or not those warnings are normal and if they are anything to worry about which you sadly did not answer.. I am trying to make sure nothing is broken in my Windows install as I would hate to go through the trouble of shifting files around to other drives and reinstalling everything again.

The first 3 events you can ignore they are most likely nothing to worry about.  The "Application SID does not match Conductor SID" part normally means something was run in an elevated mode and couldn't complete following an application restart (or maybe a reboot) which ran as normal user.

 

The next two are showing that the logon process is taking a while to complete, hence my query about the start-up.  Depending on what you have loading they could be normal, or more likely something is causing the start-up to be delayed.  This is the reason I said to clear the Event Log and then see if it is still coming up after rebooting, it may just be a result of updates/clean up processes etc and therefore nothing to worry about.

 

The last one I'm not 100% on.  It might be the result of a failed update, such as trying to install an IE9/10 update when you have IE11 installed or at least something similar to this scenario.  Checking a fresh install (Win7) I did in a VM I also get this after the initial series of updates and then don't see it again, so I would take it as nothing to worry about.

Well my blue screen issue was due to something becoming corrupted with the login or at least that is what I read. Before I ran a chkdsk it would blue screen during or right after the loading Windows 7 logo before displaying the login screen. After running chkdsk everything seems to work fine but those warnings raised a little concern. The steam firewall error happened on my old install afaik and a couple or few of the warnings I found earlier in the event viewer prior to experiencing issues, found those after posting here. Since yesterday I haven't seen those warnings pop up in the event viewer but I suppose that's because I haven't rebooted yet but now believe the warnings are nothing to worry about.
