Hi all.

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum. Microsoft has so many forums (Answers, Docs, Technet, MSDN, and so on) that I may be posting in the wrong place. To the moderator, feel free to move this topic to the right site.

First of all, I have to say that I'm having no problems with my PC at all, the system is running just fine. I just reached this point because I'm aiming to erase all the 'error' messages in the Event Viewer log (Windows 10).

So, for anyone who entered in this crusade knows about the AppModel-Runtime error message that keeps showing in the log without a seamless proper reason. There are several topics on the net with people asking for this. The log message goes more or less like this: "Failed with 0x490 modifying AppModel Runtime status for package Microsoft.<package name> for user DESKTOP-ERQCEBP\<my username> (current status = 0x0, desired status = 0x20)."

Well, I found a possible reason why this is happening (although I still don't know how to solve it), and I though I could share it with the Microsoft users in the forum to discuss this and maybe find a solution.

I realised that this error occurs every time a Windows 10 app is installed, reinstalled or updated from the Windows Store. By analysing the logs in the Event Viewer and comparing it with the days the apps were installed or received updates in the Windows Store, you can see that the days and the number of occurrences this occurs match.

** I have imagens here to ilustrate what I'm saying, but it seems I can't post imagens because my account is not verified.**

It seems not all apps update results in a log event. However, every update that Windows registers in the Windows Store generate an AppModel-Runtime error log. You can check this by opening Windows Store, then in the upper-right corner of the screen, clicking on the three dots, then 'Downloads and Updates'. Then, in the left of the screen select the menu 'Downloads'.

In that screen, every item listed there generates a AppModel-Runtime log event.

More, it's even possible for you to generate yourself the log. All you need to do is go to the Windows 10 'Add/Remove Program' screen, select any Windows 10 app you have already installed (Calculator for instance), then click on it, click on 'Advanced Options' just bellow the app name, then click on the 'Restore' option. This will reinstall/redefine/restart the app. At the moment you do this, you will generate the log file.

So, I think this is all I have to share about this problem. Does anyone have a solution to make ths log stop showing in the event viewer?
