Hi Picsoe
I did some research on this event and it appears to be one of those ‘non-event’ events?
The ‘Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing’ appears to run each time the system is started along with the associated ‘Circular Kernel Context Logger’. These components are part of the Performance Diagnostics.
The ‘0xC0000035’ error code returns as ‘STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION’. This error code has been associated with a duplicate domain security identifier (SID) being detected, also as ‘the event logger is full’ with Session «Circular Kernel Context Logger» failed to start.
There are many threads that refer to this event and associate it with many different behaviors, but i think these are redundant since the users were just looking for the cause for a problem that did not actually have anything to do with this event.
For now I would recommend that you monitor how often this event is recorded, but otherwise simply ignore it. It will likely disappear at some point.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

Hi,
I have a clean install of Windows 7 downloaded from MSDN. This is running stand alone as a media centre PC. It is not a member of a domain. I appear to get the error message
Session «Circular Kernel Context Logger» failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
Repeated ~1second. It appears to start when the computer resumes from standby and then continues. The system appears to be brought out of standby by an attempt to access something at Microsoft and I receive a warning
Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.After this the kernel error starts to appear.
There is clearly something wrong. Advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same trouble with Windows 7 (the RTM version). The Kernel context logger is a bit like a flight data recorder and takes snapshots of the system (I think every second) into a 100MB RAM file (not a log file on disk). It is needed.
I found the fix:
Rename this file: %windir%panthersetup.etl to setup.old and reboot.
Worked for me. To prove this, delete the logs in event viewer and keep an eye out for any recurrence. Can’t tell you why it was broken in the first place, though!

Thanks! This worked for me as well, but I too, don’t know why it broke in the first place. It was a new PC, freshly joined to the domain and updated. If it is somewhat related or tied in, I was having issues with WMI that I had to deal with. Had to rebuild
it and re-register everything.

I can’t find this, I have win 7 64 SP1…help
-
Had an incident this morning that may throw some light on this issue.
A Win 7 Pro machine in an Active Directory Domain could not access a mapped share (H:) on the server. I disconnected the share, then attempted to remap it but found that H: was not available among the drive letters offered. I mapped the share
to another drive letter so the user could continue.When I followed up to try to find the cause, I found a device named H: under Portable Devices in Device Manager. User said that a USB flash drive had been left in the machine over the weekend and the machine had been shut down. I would surmise
that on startup, the flash drive was recognised and obtained drive H: before the network connection was re-established so mapping the share failed.May or may not be significant, but 20 instances of «Circular Kernel Context Logger» on each startup.
-
I cannot find the file ‘setup.etl’ in win7 pro. I found a ‘panthersetup.exe’ and a ‘panthersetup’ any advice is appreciated.
-
You sure you aren’t looking at FOLDERS? There is a folder named setup.exe, BUT setup.etl is a FILE plainly listed (probably a bit lower on your screen), not even hidden. Check again, IMO.
BTW, renaming the file and autocreating a new one worked for me, too. Thanks 🙂

I believe this IS VERY significant. I recently discovered my girlfriend was using a KeyLogger program to monitor all internet activity as well as gain all of my passcode information. Since she knew I would monitor activity on my PCs, all of the program data
was stored on her portable device, in this case, her ipod. Every time she rebooted the system with this device attached it automatically first, discovered my system admin password, then Impersonates the Administrator. There are several other things that happen
this is simply an abridged version of the event.Here is a complete list of privileges it assigns to this «new user» :
Privileges: SeSecurityPrivilege
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
SeLoadDriverPrivilege
SeBackupPrivilege
SeRestorePrivilege
SeDebugPrivilege
SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege
SeImpersonatePrivilege -
First, I apologize for hitting the wrong button, as a proposed answer instead of a reply.
My reply to this issue would be to monitor your system for a KeyLogger program. This program may be hosted on a portable device. It will usually hide from the system, and run in a cloaked mode. The intent of these programs is to take periodic snapshots of
your activity, as well as monitor EVERY keystroke made. This allows the program to monitor all emails, texts, chats, messaging of all types, as well as obtain log in information to ANY site visited.Most are designed to email these snap shots and logged keystrokes to a designated person.. The one snooping your activity.

I am having this exact same error. I tried to perform this fix, but I could not find the setup.etl file. The only setup files in this directory close are setuperr and setupact. Any ideas? I would like to fix this error.

Well, I stumbled my way in here, because I started experiencing some problems with some Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit Enterprise Virtual Machines I have running and you can imagine the headache of dealing with this error appearing 20 times after each reboot on each
VM. If you have some form of consolidated Event Error Log that is «farming» all of these event logs into one then you can imagine the nightmare of seeing constant errors showing up and flooding logs, so no THANK YOU MICROSOFT… 😛Anyway, Thank You RichardVet for your solution although I wanted to add an addendum for those of you who also found that RichardVet’s solution did not actually work 100% of the time. I went ahead and renamed the file, same error. I went ahead and deleted
the file, same error. It seems this file is created as part of the initial install and then might get updated over time, but I found that it must exist otherwise error is generated even though it might never be used again.So basically, I created a blank TXT file and renamed it setup.etl — empty file, no edit, etc. Errors stopped, so just thought I would share that with others who still gets errors after RENAME or DELETION.
If you have issues creating the file in the Panther folder or it does not exist, then create the file on your desktop and then COPY/PASTE into the Panther folder which you can also manually create.
C:WindowsPanther —> setup.etl
Thanks and Good Luck… 🙂

Hi DonChino,
How do you create a blank TXT file.
Best regards, Luis
-
To create a blank txt file, right-click on the desktop, and select «New» -> «Text Document»
Change the name as usual … right-click on the document icon (not the name) and select «Rename.»
You may need an administrative password.

Used your solution with success until the setup.etl dissapeared.
After some testing in a Win 7 ultimate installation: The root cause seems to be a bug in login logout. If you do a logout and then login the error stream starts. If you then reboot it stops.

okay, here is my dumb question. Which file are you saying to rename « %windir%panthersetup.etl to setup.old
and reboot»?I know enough to fix somethings, but this fix isnt resonating with me. I trust its corrrect, but I need just a how
to on this.I have a number of errors as well in a brand new os in my new drive. So, I am taking these one at a time. And this is exactly the error code and problem I have in my logs, but I dont understand which file to rename. Just please show a step by step, (but
a simple one will do).Since this is a brand new OS windows 10 pro in my new replacement drive I am hoping to eliminate all/most of the events I am seeing on a regular basis. I just wonder if I should just undue everything and re-install my system, since it is beginning to lag
now like it did before my drive needed replacing. Since drive and os are new, I really dont see why I should be seeing any errors. But before I do all the reinstall, I thought I would work through each issue and see if I can figure out whats going on. The
dell guys are good at unclogging a system full of malware, but debugging is another story. Please help on this one issue though. -
Rename the file called «setup.etl» (found in the folder location: %windir%panther) to «setup.old»

PLEASE HELP!!!

Can’t tell you why it was broken in the first place, though!
Regards,
RichardVet
Thanks! This worked for me as well, but I too, don’t know why it broke in the first place. It was a new PC, freshly joined to the domain and updated. If it is somewhat related or tied in, I was having issues with WMI that I had to deal with. Had to rebuild
it and re-register everything.

I can’t find this, I have win 7 64 SP1…help
-
Had an incident this morning that may throw some light on this issue.
A Win 7 Pro machine in an Active Directory Domain could not access a mapped share (H:) on the server. I disconnected the share, then attempted to remap it but found that H: was not available among the drive letters offered. I mapped the share
to another drive letter so the user could continue.When I followed up to try to find the cause, I found a device named H: under Portable Devices in Device Manager. User said that a USB flash drive had been left in the machine over the weekend and the machine had been shut down. I would surmise
that on startup, the flash drive was recognised and obtained drive H: before the network connection was re-established so mapping the share failed.May or may not be significant, but 20 instances of «Circular Kernel Context Logger» on each startup.
-
I cannot find the file ‘setup.etl’ in win7 pro. I found a ‘panthersetup.exe’ and a ‘panthersetup’ any advice is appreciated.
-
You sure you aren’t looking at FOLDERS? There is a folder named setup.exe, BUT setup.etl is a FILE plainly listed (probably a bit lower on your screen), not even hidden. Check again, IMO.
BTW, renaming the file and autocreating a new one worked for me, too. Thanks 🙂

I believe this IS VERY significant. I recently discovered my girlfriend was using a KeyLogger program to monitor all internet activity as well as gain all of my passcode information. Since she knew I would monitor activity on my PCs, all of the program data
was stored on her portable device, in this case, her ipod. Every time she rebooted the system with this device attached it automatically first, discovered my system admin password, then Impersonates the Administrator. There are several other things that happen
this is simply an abridged version of the event.Here is a complete list of privileges it assigns to this «new user» :
Privileges: SeSecurityPrivilege
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
SeLoadDriverPrivilege
SeBackupPrivilege

First, I apologize for hitting the wrong button, as a proposed answer instead of a reply.
My reply to this issue would be to monitor your system for a KeyLogger program. This program may be hosted on a portable device. It will usually hide from the system, and run in a cloaked mode. The intent of these programs is to take periodic snapshots of
your activity, as well as monitor EVERY keystroke made. This allows the program to monitor all emails, texts, chats, messaging of all types, as well as obtain log in information to ANY site visited.Most are designed to email these snap shots and logged keystrokes to a designated person.. The one snooping your activity.

Hi,
I had the same trouble with Windows 7 (the RTM version). The Kernel context logger is a bit like a flight data recorder and takes snapshots of the system (I think every second) into a 100MB RAM file (not a log file on disk). It is needed.
I found the fix:
Rename this file: %windir%panthersetup.etl to setup.old and reboot.
Worked for me. To prove this, delete the logs in event viewer and keep an eye out for any recurrence. Can’t tell you why it was broken in the first place, though!
Regards,
RichardVet
I am having this exact same error. I tried to perform this fix, but I could not find the setup.etl file. The only setup files in this directory close are setuperr and setupact. Any ideas? I would like to fix this error.

Well, I stumbled my way in here, because I started experiencing some problems with some Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit Enterprise Virtual Machines I have running and you can imagine the headache of dealing with this error appearing 20 times after each reboot on each
VM. If you have some form of consolidated Event Error Log that is «farming» all of these event logs into one then you can imagine the nightmare of seeing constant errors showing up and flooding logs, so no THANK YOU MICROSOFT… 😛Anyway, Thank You RichardVet for your solution although I wanted to add an addendum for those of you who also found that RichardVet’s solution did not actually work 100% of the time. I went ahead and renamed the file, same error. I went ahead and deleted
the file, same error. It seems this file is created as part of the initial install and then might get updated over time, but I found that it must exist otherwise error is generated even though it might never be used again.So basically, I created a blank TXT file and renamed it setup.etl — empty file, no edit, etc. Errors stopped, so just thought I would share that with others who still gets errors after RENAME or DELETION.
If you have issues creating the file in the Panther folder or it does not exist, then create the file on your desktop and then COPY/PASTE into the Panther folder which you can also manually create.

Used your solution with success until the setup.etl dissapeared.
After some testing in a Win 7 ultimate installation: The root cause seems to be a bug in login logout. If you do a logout and then login the error stream starts. If you then reboot it stops.

okay, here is my dumb question. Which file are you saying to rename « %windir%panthersetup.etl to setup.old
and reboot»?I know enough to fix somethings, but this fix isnt resonating with me. I trust its corrrect, but I need just a how
to on this.I have a number of errors as well in a brand new os in my new drive. So, I am taking these one at a time. And this is exactly the error code and problem I have in my logs, but I dont understand which file to rename. Just please show a step by step, (but
a simple one will do).Since this is a brand new OS windows 10 pro in my new replacement drive I am hoping to eliminate all/most of the events I am seeing on a regular basis. I just wonder if I should just undue everything and re-install my system, since it is beginning to lag
now like it did before my drive needed replacing. Since drive and os are new, I really dont see why I should be seeing any errors. But before I do all the reinstall, I thought I would work through each issue and see if I can figure out whats going on. The
dell guys are good at unclogging a system full of malware, but debugging is another story. Please help on this one issue though. -
Rename the file called «setup.etl» (found in the folder location: %windir%panther) to «setup.old»

Hi Picsoe
I did some research on this event and it appears to be one of those ‘non-event’ events?
The ‘Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-EventTracing’ appears to run each time the system is started along with the associated ‘Circular Kernel Context Logger’. These components are part of the Performance Diagnostics.
The ‘0xC0000035’ error code returns as ‘STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION’. This error code has been associated with a duplicate domain security identifier (SID) being detected, also as ‘the event logger is full’ with Session «Circular Kernel Context Logger» failed to start.
There are many threads that refer to this event and associate it with many different behaviors, but i think these are redundant since the users were just looking for the cause for a problem that did not actually have anything to do with this event.
For now I would recommend that you monitor how often this event is recorded, but otherwise simply ignore it. It will likely disappear at some point.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

Hi,
I have a clean install of Windows 7 downloaded from MSDN. This is running stand alone as a media centre PC. It is not a member of a domain. I appear to get the error message
Session «Circular Kernel Context Logger» failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
Repeated ~1second. It appears to start when the computer resumes from standby and then continues. The system appears to be brought out of standby by an attempt to access something at Microsoft and I receive a warning
Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.After this the kernel error starts to appear.
There is clearly something wrong. Advice would be appreciated.

Exactly the same here.
It goes on and on, up to 3 times per second.

I’ve been away for months, but I can see that the event viewer filter on our brand new Windows 7 has not made much progress in the event 35 series [processor drivers not seen as installed or running by Windows] and I can see a new thread after I installed
Microsoft Security Essentials that the scanner will stop unexpectedly due to this filter not being solved? Error code 3221225458 ?In answer to your question, NO nothing is wrong with either your computer or your software and I think not you either, but you may want to check with a professional just in case?

hi,
thanks rename solve the problem.

THis fix worked for me! Using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I was getting 10 of these errors each and everytime the desktop (Dell Optiplex 780) was restarted..it was maddening! Thank you for taking the time to nail this down RichardVet!

Rename the file called «setup.etl» (found in the folder location: %windir%panther) to «setup.old»

В последнее несколько месяцев в журнале стала появляться ошибка «Не удалось запустить сеанс «Circular Kernel Context Logger» со следующей ошибкой: 0xC0000035″. Нашел лишь
рекомендацию на answers.microsoft.com следующего характера:
Здравствуйте.
Данная событие не критично, можно продолжить работу не обращая на него внимание.
Если Вы все-таки хотите устранить данное событие, то:
1.Переименуйте файл setup.etl в setup.old, находится он в директории C:WindowsPanther
2.Удалите все события журнала Windows
3.Перезагрузите компьютер.
Если проблема сохранится, отключите IPv6, кроме интерфейса замыкания на себя с помощью Microsoft Fix it 50444.
Данное решение НЕ помогает ! Более того, специалисты на answers.microsoft.com утверждали, что ошибка некритична, а оказалось что вполне себе критична, да еще как ! Сегодня вылетел синий экран смерти, с ошибками в журнале

The session circular kernel context logger failed to start with the following error: 0xc0000035is a ghost that has haunted the last three major releases of Windows. It’s an error that Windows 10 essentially inherited from Windows 7.
While it occurs less frequently on Windows 10, it still shows up to cause a blue screen of death from time to time. But why and how can you fix it? In this guide, we’ll answer these questions and more.
How do I fix a session circular kernel context logger error?
What is a session circular kernel context logger error: 0xc0000035?
In most cases, the context logger error: 0xc0000035 is caused by the system detecting a duplicate domain security identifier (SID). That’s why it seems to be more prevalent in computers hooked up to a local area network.
In most cases, this error isn’t fatal and won’t impact the way your computer runs. However, on some rare occasions, y0ur computer may crash, run sluggishly or its output devices may not be able to function properly.
You can find the error in Windows Event Viewer.

Identify the location:
- Right-click on the Windows Start icon.
- Select Event Viewer from the menu.

- On the left panel, expand the Custom Views branch and click on Administrative Events.
