Original title: Windows Experience Index error storage
I have had no issues up until now running WEI. When I run it now I get an error when the index tries to read the storage. When I run winsat formal as an administrator, I get the same type of warning as when I run the assessment. I have been running Norton 360
with no issues. I have tried disabling the AV and running the assessment, but no changes. The warning box I get when running the assessment is "could not measure storage performance. Error: failed to properly assess the disk. The parameter is incorrect".
The winsat log reads:
