I have a lingering problem after running a clean Windows 10 install (via Microsoft's Windows 10 media creation tool after the upgrade from Windows 8.1 failed.
It looks like the transaction resource manager is corrupted in some way and every repair I've tried has failed. The system event log is full of 136 and 137 messages (every 5 seconds):
Warning: The default transaction resource manager on volume C: encountered an error while starting and its metadata was reset. The data contains the error code.

A couple of the other symptoms are:
After various searches I have ...
sfc /scannow
(no errors)chkdsk /f
(no errors)Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
(no errors)fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\
and rebooted*.blf
*.regtran.ms
and *.tm*
files in %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine
and %SystemRoot%\config\TxR
, rerun the fsutil
command and rebootedNone of these have fixed it and I'm not sure what went wrong in the first place during the installation. Any further suggestions, or am I up for a third rebuild?
I tried another clean boot install from an ISO based on the TechBench link that @Hydranix noted in the comments. This installed correctly, but I still had all the same errors.
To fix it, I had to format the OS partition so that it was a completely clean install.
