What do items in CBS.LOG file mean

My browsers stopped playing any videos so I ran SFC /scannow and it found some errors, only some of which it could repair, and a reboot will effect those it could. Most of the file contains:

A ton of these:

Primitive installers committed for repair
2024-02-05 19:20:45, Info CSI 000012db@2024/2/6:03:20:45.811

and another ton of these:

2024-02-05 19:21:11, Info CSI 00001774 Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory [l:29]"\??\C:\Windows\System32\fr-CA" in component Microsoft-Windows-comdlg32.Resources, version 10.0.10586.0, arch amd64, culture [l:5]"fr-ca", nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35} SO

At the end it documents the repairs -- I tried to upload it but the system would nor let me, so I include a segment below.
It seems to be about Windows bloatware that I deleted originally.

I am not sufficiently technical.

My questions are:

1. Are they about bloatware? If so, will the repair reinstall the bloatware? If so, an I cancel the repair before I reboot?
2. Can somebody tell me what does the end of the file says?

Thanx.

@dalchina

Thanx for the detailed reply. I will review it offline.

I went carefully over the log and practically all of the repairs are files of the Windows Mail and Windows Journal apps that I removed as bloatware.

The only two issues I see are as follows and they have not generated any errors or problems:

1. explorerframe.dll

Hashes for file member \??\C:\Windows\System32\ExplorerFrame.dll do not match actual file [l:17]"ExplorerFrame.dll
Error STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE while executing operation HardLinkFile on [l:171]"\SystemRoot\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorerframe_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.672_none_2f655b30d2f0879e\ExplorerFrame.dll, \??\C:\Windows\System32\ExplorerFrame.dll"
2024-02-05 19:27:26, Info
CSI 00005b4e Error STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE while executing operation HardLinkFile on [l:171]"\SystemRoot\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorerframe_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.672_none_2f655b30d2f0879e\ExplorerFrame.dll, \??\C:\Windows\System32\ExplorerFrame.dll"

I think this has to do with the ribbon, which I also removed and don't want back.

2. opencl.dll

Cannot repair member file [l:10]"opencl.dll" of microsoft-windows-RemoteFX-clientVM-RemoteFXWDDMDriver-WOW64-C, version 10.0.10586.0, arch Host= amd64 Guest= x86, nonSxS, pkt {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35} in the store, hash mismatch
2024-02-05 19:27:26, Info

Somebody suggests the following fix @Console: Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
What is the console is and how to use it?

I do not know what the file is and does, but if it is not video related or critical I do not care.

So the problems are can I CANCEL THE PENDING REPAIR and prevent the bloatware from being reinstalled. I don't think these 2 files have anything to do with browsers not playing Net videos,



Thanx.

You're absolutely right that there are risks to removing Windows components. However, given the amount of useless bloatware that MS inflict on users and the risks that it itself is risky, well, I take what I believe to be reasonable risks -- has served me well over the years-- had MUCH, MUCH less pain that those who accepted everything from MS.

I bit the bullet & rebooted. Windows Mail and prob. Journal are back and I will simply learn to ignore them, or I might delete them again.

What is interesting is that videos play again. However, I am not sure it's due to the repair: I had this issue before with another laptop and it was intermittent which may indicate this laptop is reaching the end of its very long life.

If anything pops up short term, I will update this thread. I will save all your links and review them and use them if I need to.

Thanks for your help.

opencl.dll isn't a windows file, so you might consider what that came with.
OpenCL.dll : Free .DLL Download. - DLLme.com

RemoteFX is used to accelerate graphics performance in Remote Desktop sessions, and opencl.dll is a default part of Windows Pro, EDU, and Enterprise editions.

I don't put much faith in the accuracy of auto-generated "DLL sites".

Update:

1. Opencl.DLL is in C:\Windows\system32.
2. Ran WinDefender scan -- no problems.
3. Ran regsvr32 opencl.dll and I got the error "file was loaded but DLLRegisterServer was not found.
4. Replaced with another downloaded copy -- same result.

Since I have not had any problems/errors from it I will ignore this until I get one. I found a suggested fix for the error and I may try that. How to Fix “DLLRegisterserver Was Not Found” Error on Windows 10 - MiniTool Partition Wizard

Any other ideas?

Thanx.

Yes, I agree. I was just testing to see if the DLL makes a difference. It has not, so it does not matter.

The DLL IS there in the syestem32 folder. It's just not found. When I get some time I will try the the DLLRegisterServer fix.

CBS (Component-Based Servicing) is how Windows system files are installed & updated. The original files are written to \Windows\WinSxS, and during installation are hard linked to their target folders (ie. \Windows\System32).

If you run "sfc /scannow", it compares the authorative WinSxS versions against the live copies. Randomly copying a DLL file from somewhere doesn't always work, because it's still not the expected version which WinSxS knows. When you install any Monthly Update, some components will be replaced by updated versions.

1. Windows files you have removed manually, or by using a debloat script will continue to generate CBS.log errors until they are re-installed. Some of the reported files you already have acknowledged why they're missing.

2. Windows Journal was deprecated, and removed in later W10 builds. I suspect you may have originally installed W10 on this PC a long time ago, and those errors can be cleaned up by installing KB3161102.

https://catalog.update.microsoft.com...20windows%2010

3. What is the exact version of W10 are you running? (run "winver")

@garlin,

Thanks for the explanation.

Yes indeed: I run 1511 and I intentionally never updated it since I installed it. Ran without a hitch for all those years, minus all the pains that updaters experienced during them. I may install the KB, but it's not a big deal.

As it turns out SFC has only found Windows Mail and Journal files missing and apparently has repaired them.

It could not find the explorerframe.dll and I figured out why -- I killed the ribbon.

It could not repair opencl.dll, which is not a Windows dll. It has not generated errors or problems. I don't think by "RemoteFX is used to accelerate graphics performance in Remote Desktop session" you mean videos in browsers -- I do not do remote desktop stuff. If I want to fix it I cannot take it from WinSxS. I will check the fix I found later, but I do not think is critical.

That;s it -- looks like system is clean -- if I do not run into the video problem again.

Thanx for your help.
