wpr_initiated on startup - Genuine help needed!

[burgessanthony]

All

I am fully stuck on this one. Had an issue with AMD ReLive, it got stuck, so restarted. On boot into W10, AMD drivers and afterburner didn't load. Thought it was odd. So checked task manager, and afterburner dibcache using 100% disk, as was:

WPR_initiated_DiagTrackAotLogger_DiagTrack

Now, after a lot of reading I realise this is the inbuilt WPR for W10, but it is scheduled to start, there are no entries in registry and it isn't scheduled under computer management. It isn't in startup.

Google doesn't have anything either....no-one has this exact issue.

To add, using CMD, wpr -status says 'WPR not recording'.....BUT wpr -cancel DOES STOP the process....so that makes no sense as well :/

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Think it runs to help with the Performance monitor that is always running in background

Thanks colif. I did see the registry stuff but none of those keys exist for me 🙁 ill check the other links out.

Just suddenly started after rebooting when adterburner/amd relive froze up. All very odd.

UPDATE:

Killing some of the windows autodiag in Task Scheduler helped. Although never had the issue before, I would appear:

- MSI Afterburner would not load with AMD ReLive. they both load as a process but are not in the taskbar as icons. Afterburner maybe uses an element of WPR for its data collection and was maybe getting stuck?
- Killing AB meant ReLive loaded, and the problem has gone away

Very odd....

thanks Colif, it was your 2nd link that did the job!

Ok so it seems its the new windows update. Happening to people all over Reddit and other forums.

I wonder which of the two programs will need an update then unless MS remove feature next month.
