How can I fix LiveKernelEvent error?

1. Use hardware diagnostic tools

Is LiveKernelEvent error a hardware failure? Users often confirm that their computers have no hardware problems. However, you may also use the best hardware diagnostic tools for PCs to rule out this option.

2. Fire up SFC/DISM scans

While some say that the SFC/scannow command finds nothing and DISM scan health reports no problems, you could also try firing up SFC/DISM scans to confirm your case.

Any ideas on how to fix LiveKernelEvent error? When no hardware failure is involved, and SFC/DISM scans report no issues, you may look for signs of viruses or further inspect the latest Windows 10 cumulative updates.

Well, Event Viewer reports no critical errors, and the Windows 10 hardware troubleshooter doesn’t find anything wrong.

Since all these checks couldn’t pinpoint the exact root cause of this issue, Windows 10 users concluded that the problem occurred as a result of installing the latest Windows 10 cumulative updates.

The “thing” is – it dont occur every day, but, as it seems, randomly… Which could be a good indication for a bug! So – it’s up to MS to try to find what’s up! And a solution to this problem! Come on MS!
