I am getting the following repeating errors in event viewer:
Does anybody know what is causing these errors and how to fix them?
Best Answer
SideBySide errors are usually caused when the executable requires a certain Visual Studio Runtime which doesn't exist, although I'm not 100% confident that this is the case here. How often does this error occur?
The screenshot is not sorted by date. Does it cause any issues? Often, these errors can be ignored without any harm.
From there you can save it an an .evt file or just use PowerShell to parse and filter it to your hearts extent. There are plenty of resources on using PowerShell to filter and manipulate Event Logs if you do a bit of research.
Really old question, but I believe the answer still applies under Windows 10. The credit for this answer goes to the comment made by Olaf Hess above, but it's absolutely correct:
Remove the registry key called HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MiniNT.
Apparently the presence of this key causes all kinds of issues for the Event Log viewer, as well as Windows Update, and possibly other things, because it makes the system believe that you're running the Windows Preinstallation Environment.
