Cause of "Session Circular Kernel Context Logger failed to start error in Event Log?

10

I'm running Windows 7 RTM 32-bit.

I'm getting the following error in my event log every second or so:

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

  • Source: Kernel-EventTracing
  • Level: Error
  • User: SYSTEM
  • OpCode: Start

Any ideas what would be causing this?

Trying to find out what the Circular Kernel Context Logger is, I found this article in which somebody says:

Nothing to worry about, the system repeatedly tries to start the logger session until it succeeds. A temporary failure to start mostly (but not always) happens during a system state transition from standby -> running.

If this doesn't fit your case, this other article states:

The system state is a set of kernel events generated by taking a snapshot of the Circular Kernel Context Logger.

It's then possible (but improbable in my opinion) that the problem is related to system snap-shots. You might then verify in Control Panel / System / System protection, that everything seems well defined.

If none of the above ideas are useful, my only other idea would be to do a system repair.

I found this post which references the IPv6 protocol. I disabled the protocol for my network adapter and now no longer get the error.
