[SOLVED] Help needed to fix Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service

Hi,

i probably should have have been clearer - the PC only contains a RAID array, and the OS resides on this RAiD array. GSmartControl does not provide any further menu options after double-clicking the volume on which the OS resides, it just provides information on the volume. So, it is not possible to just scan the volume containing the OS with GSmartControl.

THE RAID array software DOES have the ability to scan the volume in which the OS resides - it will scan all 5 HDDs together searching for RAID verification and media errors. Shall I try this first?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

The RAID array's software identified 0 media errors, and identified and repaired 3 data inconsistencies, on the volume that the OS is installed.

Attached are the SMART reports from GSmartControl for each of the 5 HDDs.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just after my last post I lost all restore points and the system became increasingly unstable, so I ended up restoring from a very old backup (prior to the original Windows Update issue referred to in Post #1) and then re-applying windows updates again.

The Windows Update issue did not re-occur (thankfully), but the SENS issue did occur again after one of the updates. I rolled the offending update back using the restore point created by the update to fix the SENS issue, and re-applied the update again. After re-applying the update, and several others subsequently, the SENS issue has not re-occurred and the system has remained stable.

While rolling back to a restore point seems to work for me, it doesn't explain why the SENS issue occurs randomly after some Windows Updates nor why using restore points fixes the issue. Looking at other users' posts on the internet about the SENS issue, the problem seems to be somewhat common but no one has been able to identify the root cause.

So, given my system is working again and the issue is gone (at least for now), you can close this case.

Thanks for your help.
