The error code 0xc0000035 in the Windows Event Viewer linked with the "Windows Remediation Service" can indeed be perplexing at first. The Windows Remediation Service, also referred to as the "sedsvc," typically plays a role in helping to stabilize Windows Update processes. It's designed to automatically correct issues that might prevent updates from being installed properly, aiming to ensure the operating system stays up to date.
When you encounter this specific error code, it often indicates a conflict or failure while trying to execute a particular update remediation task. While the error might seem concerning, these errors can, at times, be benign, especially if your updates are proceeding normally otherwise.
Resolving the Error:
Check for corruption: Use the System File Checker tool by running sfc /scannow in an elevated Command Prompt. This will help identify and potentially fix system file corruption related to this error.
DISM Tool: Follow up with the Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool (DISM) by running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. This process can repair the Windows image itself, which might resolve underlying issues contributing to the error.
Update Conflicts: Sometimes, errors like these can arise from specific updates causing conflicts. Check if updates are consistently failing to install and review the Windows Update history for any clues.
Disable Background Services: Temporarily disabling other third-party security software has helped others resolve this issue. Such software can sometimes interfere with Windows Update processes.
If these steps don't resolve the error or if updates are failing consistently, it might be worth checking for a more targeted approach—such as reviewing the specific error message details in the Event Viewer logs, which can sometimes provide clues on the exact cause.
Additional Resources:
- Microsoft’s support documentation for troubleshooting Windows Update errors provides step-by-step guidance that can be tailored further based on what you see in the logs.
- Online tech communities such as Microsoft Answers or forums like Reddit's /r/windowshelp can offer anecdotal solutions from users who've faced similar issues.
Considerations:
Bear in mind, sometimes these entries are logged without major repercussions, especially if the system or updates appear to be functioning correctly otherwise. However, if performance issues accompany this error, taking corrective action is prudent.
