Occasionally on startup I get this error message and have to restart, and when I do restart I usually find the time and date are incorrect and, less frequently, that several recent files are missing. For a bit of backstory, last year my computer's hard drive was infiltrated by a particularly virulent piece of malware that cost me a lot of time and money trying to repair. Though the computer is apparently working again, I still have niggling worries that some traces of the malware may still remain on the system, though for some reason nobody on the previous forum I went to had any time to look at the many scan results posts I sent for all their various pieces of scanning software, so now I've been advised to come and ask here instead. Hoping for better luck? We'll have to see.

Hi!

There aren't minidumps.
I suspect the motherboard battery is failing.
Have you got another one to try?
Launch (from an elevated command prompt):
Code: 
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
And post their final result.

Download and install iobit driver booster free.
Open it, click tools, click "Clean unplugged device data", scan, clean, close.
Download regseeker, unzip it, click regseeker.exe.
Click applications and startup.
Click services, click the information header to sort the items, enlarge the headers so we can see the items, take a (png/jpg) screenshot.
Click drivers, click the information header to sort the items, enlarge the headers so we can see the items, take a (png/jpg) screenshot.
Post the screenshots.
 
The logs displayed:

a) approximately 60 crashes or unexpected shutdowns and restarts in approximately 5 months
b) many paging errors
c) WHEA corrected hardware errors
d) many application crashes related to gaming software
e) Windows failed fast startup

That's what I got from Command Prompt. If I post without SeaGate and HD Tune it's because I've had to cut short as my internet gets switched off very promptly, but I'll be sure to send you the rest of the results tomorrow.

If there are any manual power offs > record them and report into the thread

For any unexpected shutdowns and restarts run the Sysnative log collector to collect new log files.

Are you using both malwarebytes (licensed) and mcafee (licensed)?

In microsoft support, I found: Error (BlInitializeLibrary failed XXX) when you install or start an operating system on a 64-bit UEFI-based computer - Windows Client
Read More:


It seems they suggest you need to optimize your uefi/bios partition (or ESP: efi system partition).
Before doing that (i.e., assign a letter to the ESP and then launch defrag options on it), I'd try this command (and verify it worked in next days):
Code: 
defrag /C /B /L /O /H

If you want to know what those parameters are, these are the defrag options on windows 10 20h2/2009 19042.685:

About the yellow values shown by HDTune on your Seagate HDD, I get the same result:

Yes. Well, I've only got the free trial for MalwareBytes currently, but I'm looking into buying the full version. I think the scanner on MalwareBytes is much better than the McAfee one.
 
Then, at least during malwarebytes trial, I suggest you to disable mcafee.

I was editing my previous reply, while you was replying... Re-check it.

Curiously, I had trouble turning the computer on today - it kept freezing at the splash screen and I had to restart it three times before it finally worked. This happened before but never when the Windows logo appeared until now. On the plus side however, I believe I have managed to find and disable Fast Startup.
Click to expand...

Then maybe you want to try the same command for your ESP:
Code: 
defrag ESP-Letter: /B /L /O

You have to assign a letter to the ESP with diskpart.
If you don't know how to do it, just ask.
I tried to defrag my ESP that way and I'm still here ( :D ).
 
Please post a share link for the desktop file:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"



When available update the progress with the steps in post #10.
