    What do these msert.log errors mean


    I recently ran Microsoft Safety Scanner a couple times following some strange behavior that may or may not have to do with my CMOS battery (System restore is not working... - Windows 10 Forums)

    I noticed a lot of errors listed in the msert.log file. I was wondering if anyone can help me make sense of them (see attachment).

    Thanks!

    Most of the error codes are read / write accessed denied to files and processes.

    What should I do? Re-run as administrator?

    Yes run it as administrator but there will be some accessed denied errors.

    I already did sfc /scannow a couple days ago. No errors found in there

    I still have all the same errors running as admin.

    Is there anything here that I should worry about?

    Log files often display error codes.
    The error codes can be ambiguous.
    There was no malware found.
    There was nothing actionable related to the msert log error codes.

    If necessary there are other software that can be used to check again for malware.
