Event Viewer Error ID 200 & 202

[Secrios]

Today I had a strange crash on my computer after plugging one of my external harddrives in, it was a blue screen of death. After the reboot the drive worked fine and all that was inside was a windows backup image.

A few errors showed up. Mostly error id 200 and 202. One says that I was unable to connect to the windows update service and the other said similar.

The funny thing was the update service in question was working fine.

I did a restore point before the events happened just incase anything was changed. Upon finishing the restore, I recieved those two errors again. But I have not received them after any boots after that.

What exactly is causing them. Is it external harddrive related or restore point related?

Can you download and run who crashed - it will give us a glimpse of the errors you getting and might help us solve them

Copy/paste summary in here and I see what I can do

I'm not concerned with the BSoD. I'm concerned with the event viewer ids.

I'm always cautious of third party programs that deal with stuff like this. Plus there doesn't seem to be a minidump file anywhere.

Event ID 200 - This event indicates that the Windows operating system took an unusually long time to shut down, and this could be caused by non-Microsoft software applications or device drivers or by startup programs that load with the Windows operating system.

Do a clean boot and see if it still happens, if error doesn't happen, slowly add your start up programs back in to see if you can find cause

Event ID 202 — Task Monitoring and Control

Not as obvious as the other one, might need to look at details of each and compare against the list on the link to see what error actually says.

Whocrashed is safe, all it does is reads the dump files (If you have any) and prints a summary of the error. Since you don't have any dmp files, there is no point running it. See if fixing the 2 events helps.

In theory that would work except, this error only ever happens after a system restore point has been used. Every boot and shut down doesn't cause it.
