Hello Stan, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Hmm, I'm getting the same thing as well.

I'm not sure if it's a temporary bug or something has changed yet. I'll keep looking into it to see if I find anything.

thank you. as i recall, last year i had a bat file that worked to do this, but now i can't find it

i got it

best regards

thank you for all your work

following work
get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file c:\now\CHKDSKResults.txt
Out-File
The Out-File cmdlet sends output to a file. use this cmdlet instead of the redirection operator (>) when you need to use its parameters
PowerShell
PS C:\> Get-Process | Out-File -filepath C:\Test1\process.txt < does not work
Get-Process | Out-File -filepath C:\now\process.txt < works
This command sends a list of processes on the computer to the Process.txt file. If the file does not exist, Out-File creates it. Because the name of the FilePath parameter is optional, you can omit it and submit the equivalent command
Get-Process | Out-File C:\now\process.txt
Optional Parameters
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Get-Process | Out-File -WhatIf C:\now\process4.txt < works

Out-Printer
• The Out-Printer cmdlet sends output to the default printer
• following work
• Get-Process | Out-Printer
• Get-Content c:\now\950innow.txt | Out-Printer
• Get-Content 951copiedtorootthendeletedfromnow.txt | Out-Printer
• get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-printer
• get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | lp
• You can also refer to Out-Printer by its built-in alias, lp. For more information, see about_Aliases.
• The cmdlets that contain the Out verb (the Out cmdlets) do not format objects; they just render them and send them to the specified display destination. If you send an unformatted object to an Out cmdlet, the cmdlet sends it to a formatting cmdlet before rendering it.
• The Out cmdlets do not have parameters for names or file paths. To send data to an Out cmdlet, use a pipeline operator (|) to send the output of a Windows PowerShell command to the cmdlet. You can also store data in a variable and use the InputObject parameter to pass the data to the cmdlet. For more information, see the examples.
• Out-Printer sends data, but it does not emit any output objects. If you pipe the output of Out-Printer to Get-Member, Get-Member reports that no objects have been specified.

I just ran CHKDSK for the very first time on my desktop DELL PC, and am now attempting to view the results. Initially, CHKDSK appeared to be stuck at 10% completion. After about two hours, when I returned to the PC, I was shown the sign on screen. I assume that CHKDSK had completed. Is it normal for CHKDSK to return to the sign on screen upon its completion? I logged on to Windows Normal mode, as usual.

So I began going through following steps for Option One in this tutorial. I have Event Viewer opened, but there is nothing shown on the event sources line.

Should I redo CHKDSK?

OKay; will run CHKDSK again here. I need the practice anyway to embed the Option 1 procedure .

Hello Vince,

If you ran CHKDSK on your Windows drive, then it would have scheduled a scan the next time you restart. When the scan finishes, it will finish restarting to the sign-in screen unless you have Windows set to automatically sign in to an account.

You should be able to click on the drop down menu arrow for "Event sources" at step 3 Option 1 to check those items.

Hi Brink:




I must be doing something (simple) incorrectly. The screenshot shown above is what I am getting here. Still nothing within the Event sources line! I am not able to get the expected results in Step 3 of Option One. there is no effect when clicking on the dropdown arrow, and I am not able to type anything into the Event sources line.

Nope!
