Thank you for replying.

Event viewer will show some errors which are not always relevant or meaningful. Check if you are facing any issues on the computer when the specific event is created. Please ignore these errors if you are currently not facing any issues with your computer. If you have any issues, we need event viewer logs to serve you better.

None of the steps found any issues.
