- On the surface, Event ID 1002 is a Windows 11 error that looks really difficult to solve because of how generic it is.
- The causes of this error could be almost anything from some random computer virus to an app that was badly installed.
- Fortunately, fixing this Event ID is pretty easy to do and can be done by running the right DISM commands.

Event ID 1002 is an error that occurs when an app just sort of hangs there. It doesn’t do anything, nor does it register any interaction before suddenly crashing.
This is actually a pretty common problem, and it can affect a wide variety of apps like Microsoft Outlook. And because it’s so common, there are a ton of fixes with this guide focusing on the best ones.
What causes Event ID 1002 to appear?
Before going into the weeds of the solutions, it’s important we break down what actually causes the problem in the first place.
Because Event ID 1002 is such a generic error, it’s pretty difficult to pin it down to exactly one. However, here are the likely culprits:
How we test, review and rate?
We have worked for the past 6 months on building a new review system on how we produce content. Using it, we have subsequently redone most of our articles to provide actual hands-on expertise on the guides we made.
For more details you can read how we test, review, and rate at WindowsReport.
- Your computer is infected with malware: Fixing this will require you to use antivirus software, but the question is, which one? There are six particular antivirus tools, such as TotalAV, which reign supreme.
- Something on your Windows machine is corrupt: The problem either be corrupt files or an entire directory. Regardless of what it is, there are tools you can install to clean up your PC.
- Windows Firewall may be interrupting the process: If an app comes from a third-party source, your firewall may think it’s not legit. We recommend giving the app firewall permissions to bypass this.
How can I fix and stop Event ID 1002 from appearing?
There are a handful of things you can do before diving into the more complex solutions. This first batch can honestly be all done in a few seconds; several minutes at most:
- Restart your computer. This is the tried and true method of fixing the vast majority of problems on any Windows machine. Try this out and see if the problem is gone. Take immediate action if your PC is stuck on restarting.
- Disable your antivirus. As important as having an antivirus app is, it’s been reported that it can actually interrupt important processes.
- Reinstall the offending app. If there’s one particular app that’s constantly hanging, something may have gotten corrupted during the initial installation.
- Open the Control Panel and click System. Make the View By entry in the upper-right corner set to Large Icons.
- In the new window that appears, take note of how much RAM you have installed on your computer. In this case, it’s 16 GB (16,000 MB).
- Click Advanced system settings under Device Specifications.
- Go to the Advanced tab, then click Settings under Performance.
- Go to the Advanced tab in this new window, then click the Change button under Virtual Memory.
- In this new window, deselect the box next to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives in if it’s enabled.
- Click Custom size. You will now have to enter the megabyte amount for the paging file.
- Enter the amount of RAM you have times 1.5 in Initial Size. In this example, it’s 24,000MB.
- For Maximum, enter triple the amount of RAM.
- Click OK, then restart your computer.
2. Run ipconfig commands in the Command Prompt
- Bring up the Command Prompt on Windows Search and select Run as administrator.
- Type in the following commands, and after each one, press Enter:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
This particular solution is mainly meant for DHCP-enabled computers. You can still use it on other types of machines to see if that works.

3. Run SFC and DISM commands to clean up
- Open Command Prompt again and run it with the same administrator permissions as before.
- Type the following commands, and after each one, press Enter:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Clean-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Once done, enter the following command to finish up:
sfc /scannow
Another great method is to run this scan using a third-party tool that is specialized in system file checking.
4. Disable Add-ins on Outlook
- Open Outlook and click File in the upper-left corner.
- Click Options in the bottom left.
- In the Outlook Options window, click Add-ins on the left.
- Click the Go button next to the Manage section.
- Highlight one of the Add-ins and select Remove on the right.
Microsoft Outlook gets a specific solution to itself because it’s known to commonly have the hanging problem, and the other fixes don’t always work. We also recommend reinstalling Outlook.
What are other Windows 11 Event IDs and how can I fix them?
Windows 11 has a variety of Event IDs for specific errors. One of which is Event ID 1000, which is very to 1002 because of its generic nature.
It appears whenever apps crash, but it’s exactly what causes it. Either way, we recommend scanning the registry and reinstalling the Microsoft NET Framework to fix this problem.
Then there’s Event ID 7023, which is caused by the Connected Devices Service terminating and causing a system crash. You can run an SFC scan, as seen in this guide, or perform a clean boot to address this.
Feel free to comment below if you have questions about other Windows 11 errors. Also, leave comments about guides you’d like to see information on other Windows 11 Event IDs or features.

How do you resolve kernel power problems?
Resolving kernel power problems can be a difficult process, but there are a few steps that can help diagnose and solve the issue.
First, it’s important to determine the source of the kernel power problem. It can be caused by a variety of issues — including hardware or software-related. Common hardware causes include defective RAM, overheating components, faulty power supplies, and loose wiring.
To investigate such issues, it may be necessary to check the internal components of your computer. In some cases, resetting the power to the system may be necessary in order to resolve the problem.
In some cases, overclocking of one of the components — such as the CPU — can be the source of kernel power problems. In these cases, reverting the system to stock settings may help resolve the issue.
It’s important to adjust the settings safely and cautiously and ensure proper cooling of all components.
On the other hand, software-related causes may include out-of-date drivers or conflict with third-party programs. Make sure all drivers are up to date and uninstall any recently installed programs that may be causing a conflict.
If a driver appears to be out of date, try downloading the latest version and installing it. Additionally, running a scan of the system to check for malicious software could also be a good idea, as malicious software can cause kernel power issues.
If the above steps don’t resolve the problem, it may be necessary to use system restoring tools to repair the operating system. It’s important to back up all important data prior to performing such a procedure.
Finally, if the problem persists, it’s recommended to contact a qualified technician to resolve the issue. Diagnosing and resolving kernel power problems can be a difficult task, and professional assistance may be necessary.
How do I disable kernel logger?
Disabling the kernel logger can be done in a few different ways. The first way is to edit the file “/etc/sysctl. conf” and add the line “kernel. printk = 0 console_loglevel=0”. This will effectively disable all logging from the kernel.
The other way is to use the command “dmesg -n [level]”, where level is the log level of information you wish to disable. For example, “dmesg -n 2” will prevent all kernel logs except of level 3 or higher from being logged.
Finally, this can also be done by setting the sysctl parameter “kernel.printk”. To do this, type “echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk” and all kernel logging will be disabled.
Regardless which method you choose, disabling the kernel logger can be an important system security measure, as it ensures that malicious code and attackers cannot hijack system logs and use them to sniff out sensitive information.
Does Windows Memory Diagnostic detect RAM?
Yes, Windows Memory Diagnostic can detect RAM. The tool tests your computer’s memory and looks for errors. It searches for problems such as damaged memory, misaligned memory, fragmentation, and more.
When it scans your computer’s memory and finds an issue, it’ll display an error message. From there, you can take steps to fix the problem, such as replacing the RAM or resetting the BIOS.
How do I check if my RAM is faulty?
To check if your RAM is faulty, you can run memory tests using various diagnostics programs. Most computers come with basic diagnostics software, like Windows Memory Diagnostic, which runs a thorough scan of your RAM module and the interface between it and your CPU.
If the test reveals errors, it may mean that your RAM module is defective. You can also download other third-party memory testing tools (like Memtest86+ or PassMark’s Memtest86), which offer more extensive tests that cover a broader range of potential RAM problems.
Additionally, if you have multiple RAM modules in your system, you can test each one separately. To do this, simply remove each module and see if the problem persists. If the errors do not occur with one RAM module removed, you know the problem lies in the one you’ve just taken out.
If none of these tests reveal any problems, however, it’s likely that the issue doesn’t lie with the RAM itself, but with some other component in your system.
How can I fix my RAM problem?
In order to fix a RAM problem, the first step is to identify the cause. If the problem is a software-related issue, try running a memory diagnostic tool such as Windows Memory Diagnostic or memtest86+.
This software can help you identify if there are any software issues with the RAM causing it to not work properly.
If the memory diagnostic tool identifies a hardware issue, then you might need to replace the RAM. Before you replace the RAM, check the mother board’s manual to determine the type of RAM supported by the board.
If the RAM is still under warranty, you should try to get it replaced through the manufacturer. If it’s not under warranty, you can purchase new RAM from your local electronic store or online.
If you choose to replace the RAM yourself, you need to make sure you ground yourself before you touch any internal components. The last step is to install the RAM and make sure that it’s properly seated and that it’s compatible with the motherboard.
After the replacement, make sure to run the memory diagnostic tool once again to make sure that the RAM is not causing any more issues.
