How to fix error error-system-trace in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + X and select 'Terminal (Admin)' to open an elevated command prompt. This is necessary to manage system traces.
2. 2 Type 'logman query -ets' and press Enter. This lists all active trace sessions. Look for any sessions that might be conflicting or stuck. Note the session names.
3. 3 If you see a session that is not needed, you can stop it with 'logman stop -ets'. Replace with the actual name. This frees up resources and may resolve the error.
4. 4 If the error persists, you can restart the Windows Event Log service. Press Win+R, type 'services.msc', and press Enter. Find 'Windows Event Log', right-click it, and select 'Restart'. This resets the tracing infrastructure.
5. 5 After restarting the service, try the operation that caused the error again. If it still fails, consider running the System File Checker: 'sfc /scannow' in an elevated command prompt to repair corrupted system files.
6. 6 Finally, if all else fails, perform a clean boot to eliminate third-party software conflicts. Press Win+R, type 'msconfig', and press Enter. Go to the 'Services' tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services', and click 'Disable all'. Then go to the 'Startup' tab and click 'Open Task Manager', disable all startup items, and restart.
