    Windows memory diagnostic tool - auto runs?


    I've been running win10 home for some 8 months now, currently updated to 20h2.
    My normal boot cycle involves a wait counter at the boot manager stage - to allow for safe starts or other things if I choose. If not, I can cut the timer short and/or when the timer runs out, windows boots.
    Today, started the PC and slipped away for a few seconds, expected the boot manager to be doing it's thing. Coming back, a windows memory diagnostic tool is running on a blue screen, bulky text: 2 passes. Status of test and publication of results after windows starts was part of the screen info. Let it run to the end, no errors reported on the test screen, then the boot manager came up; interesting that this test started without any manual intervention before that stage.
    After windows started there was nothing on the desktop wallpaper screen, but as soon as the 1st app was started, a notification appeared (briefly) - diagnostic showed no errors.

    So, is this memory diagnostic test
    - new?
    - done automatically on some random cycle?, or
    - is there a trigger event somewhere?

    Attaching images (jpg files) to posts understood, done many times. But the rest - too cryptic, not understood.
    Clarify please.

    Well, IMHO, still to cryptic. But I poked around and eventually found what I think you wanted.

    V2 allegedly newer and better than VM, the latter surrounded in red by warnings. So I ran v2 only. The output file attached.

    DM allows a substantially longer look back period.
    V2 looked back 30 days.
    The logs were unremarkable.

    Several things . .
    I've downloaded the tune-up file, but the operating instructions are another story. They are part of a much larger file with many choices. According to the data in the download, at least 30 pages. And the page count in the browser image is nowhere near the actuals when trying to print the instructions out - which is seems reasonable to do, since generally, running diagnostics with no other software alive or backgrounded/minimized is generally advised. The tune up instructions in the browser download are just 2 pages, but a) the page division in the browser file don't match printable sections - more properly, the pages covering tune up printed are about re-boot with UEFI and further on, adjusting page numbers I wind up with pages about powercfg. So, I've just about given trying to find which 2 pages, lots of wasted paper so far, and I see no point in printing the whole file . . . .

    So as a strong suggestion - instructions for specific tools like tune up (and all the others in that collage) should be a stand alone file.
    As for now - which printable A4 pages in that tools collage actually apply to tune up???

    Regarding the BIOS . . my twitchy topic
    Updating BIOS in my experience - long ago and in a universe far far away - has been a process fraught with 'cannot go back' issues. If anything - anything at all - happens to the update, the PC is stuffed, unable to start to even look at it. So I have avoided BIOS updates: the one that came with the technology has worked fine without any issues for me..
    Of the versions available, and you cite the 2 involved, the motherboard is a rev1.1 item and that would apply.

    But for this unscheduled and uncommanded memory diagnostic run - which apparently has reported no errors, and you said the result was unremarkable - just how would updating the BIOS affect it??

    1) Open administrative command prompt (ACP) and type or copy and paste:
    2) sfc /scannow
    3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    5) sfc /scannow
    6) chkdsk /scan
    7) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
    8) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
    9) wmic recoveros get autoreboot
    10) wmic recoveros get DebugInfoType
    11) wmic Computersystem where name="%computername%" set AutomaticManagedPagefile=True
    12) wmic Computersystem where name="%computername%" get AutomaticManagedPagefile
    11) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}


    12) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

    Do you mean you have downloaded the following webpage and the download contains at least 30 pages?
