Hello Mikey,

You might see if you may have better luck using MemTest86+.

MemTest86+ - Test RAM | Windows 10 Tutorials

Hello @Brink,

I don't know if you want to add this to the Tutorial, but you can also extract the results of mdsched to the cmd prompt or a file.

I ran all three parameters, Basic, Standard, & Extended.

This is the code I used for BOTH the ID numbers associated with MemoryDiagnostics-Results . . .

Code:

Powershell.exe -command "& "Get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname='System'; id='1101'}^|?{$_.providername -match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'}
Powershell.exe -command "& "Get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname='System'; id='1201'}^|?{$_.providername -match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'}

These are the results which happen to be the SAME for Basic, Standard, & Extended . . .

Code:

TimeCreated : 05/09/2020 20:51:42
Message     : The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer's memory and detected no errors

I hope this helps!

Thank you @Paul Black. I'll get this added as another option to the tutorial tomorrow.

Now added as option 2.

Paul/Brink,

There's no need for two separate commands, when you can filter both event ID's.

Code:

powershell.exe -command "& "Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{logname='System'; Id=1101,1201}^|?{$_.ProviderName -match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'} -ErrorAction Ignore

Code:

ProviderName: Microsoft-Windows-MemoryDiagnostics-Results

TimeCreated                      Id LevelDisplayName Message
-----------                      -- ---------------- -------

5/13/2023 9:57:41 PM           1101 Information      The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer's memory and detected no errors

Thank you mate. Now updated.

Code:

powershell.exe -command "& "Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{logname='System'; Id=1101,1201}^|?{$_.ProviderName -match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'} -ErrorAction Ignore

In my case, using the above, I got the result . . .



To get round No events were found that match the specified selection criteria., I used this . . .

Code:

PowerShell.exe -Command "& "Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{LogName='System'; Id=1101,1201} -ErrorAction Ignore ^| Where {$_.ProviderName -Match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'}

Simplified version . . .

Code:

PowerShell "Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{LogName='System'; Id=1101,1201} -ErrorAction Ignore | Where {$_.ProviderName -Match 'MemoryDiagnostics-Results'}"

Thanks for the noticing -ErrorAction belongs to Get-WinEvent.
