Since my last Windows installation (4 Days ago) I've seen this event after very boot:

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

<System>
<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Boot" Guid="{15ca44ff-4d7a-4baa-bba5-0998955e531e}" />

</Event>

"The measured startup library encountered an error and entered an unprotected state. InitState: 1, StatusCode: 0xC0000001, Error Address: 0x8D4247, Reference Address: 0xA07E40, Cause: 1"

What error is this event referring to and why do I get it?

I have found no information about this event what so ever so I would be super grateful if someone could help me with this.

Hi,
I searched for a long time and did not find the relevant record of this problem. It seems something with the power. I suggest you disabling Fast Startup, setting power option to high performance and upgrading BIOS firmware then check if the event still appears.
Hope it is helpful.

On this machine, the boot up from a saved lower power state did freeze the bootup sequence from hibernation. Event 208 is logged on every regular cold start.

A workaround is a script changing the power state to high performance on shutdown and then back to the default state after the user settings have loaded on reboot.

Edit: Worked on previous Windows version, not on 1909, unfortunately
