Setupdiag was ran many times today.

 

With the exception of one time all produced flashes.

 

The one time it displayed a black box it ran the approximate 60 tests and found 1 problem.

 

It ran fast and closed the black box window immediately after completing.

 

No log was found that had contents.

 

 

.

 

.

 

Repeat attempts to run setupdiag and view the results all displayed flashes and no results.

 

The sixty or so tests were not seen again.

 

.

 

.

 

The repeat attempts included:

 

run

 

save > run

 

save > right click run as administrator

 

.

 

.

 

 

 

 

Download Setupdiag was clicked multiple times from this link:

1) How come setupdiag flashes when run was clicked?

 

2) How come when it was saved then run as administrator it displayed the black box with the progression of the tests and then the black box immediately closed? How come the box did not remain open for viewing?

 

3) How come the setupdiag could not be run again displaying the running of the tests without flashing?

 

4) It took many clicks on setupdiag but a new log file was not found. The log file was never displayed. Only by using third party software was a log file found. How come it did not display the log file location or the the file results automatically?

 

5) An old log file was found that had results from 3/19/2019 and 9/29/2018

 

6) The results from one successful run without it remaining open and the many flashes was never found.

 

7) What steps can be made to make setupdiag run smoothly on this computer?
