I am a support engineer and often have to read Windows event logs from PCs of various makes, ages and models, located in many countries.
Always get hard time to grok events of Intel wi-fi adapters, that usually say: "The description for Event ID ... from source Netwtw10 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer"
When we try to ask Intel wi-fi support what mean all these messages, they usually reply something like "this is OEM device so go bother the OEM and leave us alone'".
Dear wi-fi team! Your event source DLL paths in the registry, under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\System\Netwtw...\EventMessageFile are wrong!
The paths there point to system32\drivers - but actually the driver files are under %windir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netwtwXXX.inf_amd64_XXXX !
Kindly please fix it!
P.
As a quick workaround, copy all these netwtw...sys files from FileRepository\* to %windir%\system32\drivers.
