\Windows\Servicing\Sessions — Log bloat?
I have a server machine in a VM, running Server 2016. It’s \Windows\Servicing\Sessions directory consists of a single Sessions.xml file of 750MB, and 700,000 random-number.xml files of size 8KB… for a total size of nearly *5GB*. Natrually, it takes FOREVER to even open this directory.They seem like log files. Are these files even necessary? Can I just delete them? If not, how do I go about trimming this mess down… cause Windows seems to have lost it’s mind and it’s bloating out the VM pretty badly.Thanks in advance!Frank.

Shutdown or Log off in a Citrix Windows 10 VDI session
Hi Community gurus,
Hoping you could advise. During the outbreak, most of my teams are working from home and being offered a Windows 10 VDI remote login on Citrix server. In my organisation, there is a token limit and therefore we are not allowed to stay in the session
for too long but only carry out time card logging routine which takes about 5 — 10 minutes depending on individual operations. People who have logged in for prolong period get reported to their mangers who then advise to shorten the session as much as they
can.Some of them did get reported but mainly was because they did not disconnect the session properly, and still wondered how to disconnect the session properly without occupying the server resources.
Luckily I have never been in the list, and helped myself a quick short which runs «shutdown.exe -s -f -t 0».
This has run perfectly and my Manger did notice I was never in the reporting list and wondered how I did it.
Therefore I shared with my team with this quick shortcut, however, one of my seniors suggested that it’s betters to use shutdown.exe -l -f 0
To me, his advice was to log off the session, instead of shutting down, but I wondered that in a shared virtual machine session(s), is there really difference on log off and shutdown as the shutdown command does not appear to shut the server down, but disconnecting
my session so that others have more resources when needed.Would any one be able to advise?
Thank you in advance.

There are various types of errors related to Sessions.xml file. Sessions.xml file may be located in wrong file directory on your device, may not be present in the system, or may be infected with malicious software and therefore not work correctly. Below is a list of most common error messages related to Sessions.xml file. If you encounter one listed below (or similar), please consider the following suggestions.
- Sessions.xml is corrupted
- Sessions.xml cannot be located
- Runtime Error — Sessions.xml
- Sessions.xml file error
- Sessions.xml file cannot be loaded. Module was not found
- cannot register Sessions.xml file:
- Sessions.xml file could not be loaded
- Sessions.xml file doesn’t exist
Sessions.xml
Application could not be started because Sessions.xml file is missing. Reinstall the application to solve the problem.
OK
Problems related to Sessions.xml can be addressed in various ways. Some methods are meant only for advanced users. If you don’t have confidence in your skills, we suggest consulting a specialist. Fixing Sessions.xml file errors should be approached with utmost caution for any mistakes can result in unstable or unproperly working system. If you have the necassary skills, please proceed.
Sessions.xml file errors can be caused by various factors, so its is beneficial to try to fix them using various methods.
Step 1: Scan your computer for any malicious software
Windows files are commonly attacked by malicious software that prevents them from working properly. First step in addressing problems with Sessions.xml file or any other Windows system files should be scanning the system for malicious software using an antivirus tool.
If by any chance you don’t have any antivirus software installed on your system yet, you should do it immediately. Unprotected system is not only a source of file errors, but, more importantly, makes your system vulnerable to many dangers. If you don’t know which antivirus tool to choose, consult this Wikipedia article – comparison of antivirus software.
Step 2: Update your system and drivers.
Installing relevant Microsoft Windows patches and updates may solve your problems related to Sessions.xml file. Use dedicated Windows tool to perform the update.
- Go to the Windows «Start» menu
- Type «Windows Update» in the search field
- Choose the appropriate software program (name may vary depending on your system version)
- Check if your system is up to date. If any unapplied updates are listed, install them immediately.
- After the update has been done,restart your computer in order to complete the process.
Beside updating the system, it is recommended that you install latest device drivers, as drivers can influence proper working of Sessions.xml or other system files. In order to do so, go to your computer or device producer’s website where you will find information regarding latest driver updates.
Step 4: Restoring Windows system
Another approach is to restore system to previous state, before the Sessions.xml file error occured. In order to restore your system, follow the instructions below
- Go to the Windows «Start» menu
- Type «System Restore» in the search field
- Start the system restore tool – it’s name may differ depending on version of the system
- The application will guide you through the process – read the messages carefully
- After the process has finished, restart your computer.
If all the above-mentioned methods failed and the Sessions.xml file problem has not been resolved, proceed to the next step. Remember that the following steps are intended only for advanced users.
Download and replace Sessions.xml file
The last solution is to manually download and replace Sessions.xml file in appropriate folder on the disk. Select file version compatible with your operating system and click the «Download» button. Next, go to your web browser’s «Downloaded» folder and copy the downloaded Sessions.xml file.
Go to the folder where the file should be located and paste the downloaded file. Below is the list of Sessions.xml file example directory paths.
- Windows 10: C:\Windows\servicing\Sessions\
- Windows 8.1: C:\Windows\servicing\Sessions\
- Windows 8: 1: C:\Windows\servicing\Sessions\
- Windows 7: C:\Windows\servicing\Sessions\
If the steps did not solve your Sessions.xml file problem, you should consult a professional. A probability exists that the error(s) might be device-related and therefore should be resolved at the hardware level. A fresh operating system installation might be necessary – a faulty system installation process can result in data loss.

I used to avoid Windows Update issues. One look at the CBS.log file and I was sprinting in the other direction. A few months back I decided it had been long enough, so I settled in for a weekend and found every piece of content I could on anything Windows Update. If it covered Side-By-Side, WinSxS, Windows Update, CheckSUR, or similar, I was reading it.
Now, I find Windows Update issues fun 
I’ve been able to use the understanding I built here to do some cool stuff! I’m excited to get posts up that show pratical examples. In the meantime, I wanted to share my notes from that weekend. What follows is half quotes, half regurgitation, and a lot of citations. I hope it can help you as much as it helped me!
The High-Level Overview: Servicing Windows broken down
Joseph Conway, the “Windows Servicing Guy”, is a former Windows support engineer that runs an awesome blog on TechNet. He’s amazing. Many of the quotes I’ve pulled below are from posts on his site or posts written by him elsewhere. In particular, he authored two posts that describe how servicing windows works. The first covers the basic terminology. The second steps through how packages and manifests are read for a given feature of Windows. They’re wonderful overviews to jumpstart an understanding of component based servicing. Check them out here:
- Servicing Windows: Part One
- Servicing Windows: Part Two
He also later authored a post explaining things via a grocery list analogy. You can find it here.
Vista and it’s Component Store – Quotes
-
Windows Vista was a move from an INF described OS to componentization. In previous versions of Windows the atomic unit of servicing was the file, in Windows Vista it’s the component.
-
A component in Windows is one or more binaries, a catalog file, and an XML file that describes everything about how the files should be installed. From associated registry keys and services to what kind security permissions the files should have.
-
Components are grouped into logical units, and these units are used to build the different Windows editions.
-
The WinSxS folder is the only location that the component is found on the system, all other instances of the files that you see on the system are “projected” by hard linking from the component store. Let me repeat that last point – there is only one instance (or full data copy) of each version of each file in the OS, and that instance is located in the WinSxS folder.
-
When we update a particular binary we release a new version of the whole component, and that new version is stored alongside the original one in the component store. The higher version of the component is projected onto the system
-
As each component on the system changes state that may in turn trigger changes in other components, and because the relationships between all the components are described on the system we can respond to those requirements in ways that we couldn’t in previous OS versions.
Reference: TechNet AskCore Blog
Directories that make up the WinSxS component store – Quotes
- \Winsxs\Catalogs: Contains security catalogs for each manifest on the system
- \Winsxs\InstallTemp: Temporary location for install events
- \Winsxs\Manifests: Component manifest for a specific component, used during operations to make sure files end up where they should
- \Winsxs\Temp: Temp directory used for various operations, you’ll find pending renames here
- \Winsxs\Backup: Backups of the manifest files in case the copy in \Winsxs\Manifests becomes corrupted
- \Winsxs\Filemaps: File system mapping to a file location
- \Winsxs<big_long_file_name data-preserve-html-node=”true”>: The payload of the specific component, typically you will see the binaries here.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
Breaking Down the Naming Convention in WinSxS
If you ever wanted to know how the folder names in WinSxS came to be, a Microsoft employee has a great blog post that breaks down how components are named. Check it out here.
On SFC – Quotes
- From an elevated command prompt, run SFC /SCANNOW. This command will project files from the component store (\Windows\winsxs) to the proper location in the file system. Sometimes its as easy as just making sure that the right file is there for a fix to install properly.
- To see an example run,
>fsutil.exe hardlink list C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ntfs.sys
\Windows\System32\drivers\ntfs.sys
\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-ntfs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_02661b64369ca03a\ntfs.sys
- Running an SFC /SCANFILE against it will check the directories above and if the version doesnt match, it will re-project it so that its working.

The CBS Log File: Structure, Terms, and Errors
The file C:\Windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log is the primary log for all things Component Based Servicing, which is whole a lot. There’s some great documentation of how the log is structured as well as what the various installation states are and some common errors. Check it out on the TechNet Library here.
Enabling Verbose CBS logging – Quotes
- To enable verbose CBS logging is easy:
1. NET STOP TRUSTEDINSTALLER
2. Add the following system environment variable: WINDOWS_TRACING_FLAGS with a value of 10000. *NOTE: This does not require a reboot to take affect.
3. NET START TRUSTEDINSTALLER
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
Windows Update Error Codes
There’s a great list of Windows Update error codes provided by a Microsoft employee that trumps what MSDN covers. Check it out here on mvps.org.
Microsoft Instructions on Reacting to CheckSur Errors
Microsoft has an MSDN article that documents how to respond to various checksur errors. It includes instructions on where to place files so that CheckSur will find and use them. Check it out here on the TechNet Library.
On the Speed of CheckSur – Quotes from Joseph Conway
-
The main thing is the spindle speed of the disk on the system you are running the tool on. This is because the CheckSUR utility comes as a packaged payload. We create the \Windows\CheckSUR directory on your system and then unpackage the contents of the utlity to your local drive before we ever run the actual tool. This takes up the majority of the time (~75-80%). The rest of the time is used for running the tool and generating the log file. If you have a large amount of corruption on the system, such as a failed service pack, then it may take a little longer but in general the tool should be usable in about 15mins from the time the installer starts.
-
If you need to run the utility again on the system, you should be able to just re-run the utility you’ve downloaded (assuming you kept it) and it will be much quicker because it doesnt need to rebuild the directories for the \Windows\CheckSUR directory and can just run the tool. All of the log files for the utility are held in the \Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file. We will recreate this file each time the utility is run so the only the most current entries will be in the log.”
In the comments, he is quickly attacked for that time. He defends it saying that’s been his experience over hundreds of machines.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
Windows Component Platform Interface API
I’m not sure how helpful this may be, but Microsoft has Component Platform Interface API that’s designed to be used up at the imaging / WIM level. But it defines a whole bunch of information that’s still applicable. For example, it defines all of the package actions, the package types, the varies levels of installation, etc. Check it out here on systemscenter.ru.
Installing a Side by Side Component
At one point, I was trying to figure out how to install something into WinSxS myself. I wanted to know how to build the manifest, .cat file, etc. Microsoft has pretty terrible documentation on it, and no quality walkthroughs. But I did find a CodeProject page that explains what you need to do! It involves using a few binaries that ship with Visual Studio and then, to actually do the install, using Windows Installer. I found it pretty informative, check it out here on codeproject.
Activation Contexts and how Side by Side works for Programmers
There’s a blogger on the internet who got really annoyed with WinSxS and created a blog just to document how it works for programmers. It’s an informative read and links out to many resources.. I would caution that this isn’t really tied to Windows Update at all; it’s more of a light into another side of WinSxS. Check it out here from omnicognate.
There’s also a shorter article on the same subject by a Microsoft employee that has some super basic info on how it’s used at runtime. Not as informative as the first article, but here it is regardless.
Dism and Rolling Back Changes with Pending.xml – Quotes
DISM.exe /Image:C:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions
- Where this is handy is in situations where you have installed an update on an installation and the machine gets stuck applying “Stage 3 of 3”. You can boot into WinRE in Windows 7, run this command against the installation from the command prompt and it should allow you to rollback the changes that the update was attempting to apply. When you enable this command and reboot, you should see a blue splash screen that shows the updates being reverted.
Windows 7+. Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
Package Manager (PkgMgr) vs. Dism – Windows 7+, pkgmgr was deprecated and DISM is what is used – Quotes
- Because PKGMGR doesnt do any real checking against dependancies for things such as required reboots, customers would sometimes find themselves in the position of having random component store corruption, or post deployment corruption because of a few manually installed updates that both had reboot requirements.
- have a “one stop tool” that does both the online and offline servicing of images and installations in Windows 7. Enter DISM.exe. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool) will act as the replacement for several tools that existed with Windows Vista and 2008. The largest of which is PKGMGR. Anything you could do with PKGMGR you can do with DISM. The structure is a little different but the core concepts are the same. The main difference is that DISM has built in logging, which is logged to \Windows\Logs\DISM\DISM.log and that you can specify what kind of servicing you wish to do (online or offline).
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On MSU Files – Quotes
- Well an MSU is nothing more than the cabiner file in a wrapper. That’s why you can always use the EXPAND command against the MSU to get the underlying cabinet files for the fix.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On the ‘searching’ stage during MSU installation – Quotes
- What is going on there is we’re checking the package to make sure its complete and pulling down any deltas that might be needed for the fix to your \SoftwareDistribution folder. Deltas are smaller packages that might be needed for the update to work properly.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On reboots to resolve pending update installation – Quotes
- If you have an update that pends a reboot, please, reboot the machine. Because of the way the servicing stack works, we need to flush out information that is pertinent to that updates installation first before we can do additional servicing. This can, and often does, lead to corruption. You cannot QCHAIN updates like you could in the past.
- Deferring a reboot is not what is causing the corruption in this case, its attempting to force in other updates when another update has an operation pending. When this happens, you have mechanisms in the stack that are waiting to do something (registry, files, whatever) and if they arent done in order, you can hit something like this.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On the C:\Windows\servicing\sessions\sessions.xml log file – Quotes
- One of the other cool new logs, as it relates to servicing, is the new sessions.xml log. Located in the \Windows\servicing\sessions directory, its a log of all of the different transactions that happen on the machine from a servicing perspective.
- Because this is log is in XML, you can collapse all but the transactions that you are interested in seeing. The one thing I like about this log is that it tells you exactly what is happening with each package in a particular fix or update.
- For example, in the sample above you can see that KB972636 was installed on this machine recently. It was installed by the WindowsUpdate Agent and it did not require a reboot. This is all really good information to know when trying to troubleshoot an issue with servicing in Win7. Using this, you might be able to tell if a particular package didn’t get staged properly. Or, if a reboot was required and you’re in a reboot loop issue, then you know that you can use the new DISM /revertpendingactions flag and roll yourself back.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On Uninstalling Updates – Quotes
- Uninstalling an update moves it from the installed state to the staged state, files remain in the component store
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On Fixing CSI Errors – Quotes
- The only thing I see here is CSI corruption, that’s not something IBCR [In Box Corruption Repair] is meant to recover as far as I know, which is why its failing. Unfortunately, a lot of CSI based issues aren’t repairable without a repair install. Does your event log show anything like disk corruption or other errors recently?
The CBS log from that comment is here: http://pastebin.com/25G0FUrq
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On the In-Box Repair Functionality in DISM in Windows 8 – Quotes
- And above all else, Inbox Corruption Repair can repair both payload files and manifests (CheckSUR only did manifests) which is a HUGE win for you and I as customers.
I imagine this refers to CheckSUR knowing how to rebuild a manifest but needing to have the files in the accompanying cab files to repair payload files, vs. Dism on Windows 8 that can now pull down files from Windows Update itself and no longer has that dependency.
Reference: TechNet Joscon Blog
On Installing Service Packs – They’re Pretty Different – Quotes
- During service pack installation, we populate the pending.xml file with all of the files and registry values needed to install a particular update. Service packs are special in that they are broken into critical and non-critical transactions to allow us to recover more quickly and reduce the no-boot window that could occur during installation.
- During system shutdown, we process all of the critical transactions first and then the non-critical transactions. If we fail processing the critical transactions, the service pack will just fail and rollback. If the critical operations succeed but the non-critical operations fail, we attempt to process them on reboot using Session Manager (smss) and the SetupExecute registry value. When the system reboots and reads the SetupExecute key, it retries installation first and if that fails it will roll back the Service Pack installation. Deleting the registry value tells smss to not try and run the poqexec. It should be reattempted again during startup processing or fail outright. So effectively deleting the registry value breaks you out of the install fail reboot loop that the machine ends up being in.

Windows Update Process
For Windows XP, the \Windows\WindowsUpdate.log tracks the Windows Update agent as it goes to install things. Public documentation of the log and its stages is only ok; the best I could find is this KB article.
Vista+ changed the update architecture and again there is only poor public documentation. There was once an Understand and Troubleshoot guide for servicing written by Joseph Conway, but it was pulled from Microsoft’s Download Center temporarily yet never replaced. The content was awesome though. Someone uploaded a copy of the guide here, TBD on if it gets pulled later.

В большинстве случаев причинами ошибок в XML являются отсутствующие или поврежденные файлы. Файл Sessions.xml может отсутствовать из-за случайного удаления, быть удаленным другой программой как общий файл (общий с 3D-Album) или быть удаленным в результате заражения вредоносным программным обеспечением. Кроме того, повреждение файла Sessions.xml может быть вызвано отключением питания при загрузке 3D-Album, сбоем системы при загрузке или сохранении Sessions.xml, наличием плохих секторов на запоминающем устройстве (обычно это основной жесткий диск) или заражением вредоносным программным обеспечением. Таким образом, крайне важно, чтобы антивирус постоянно поддерживался в актуальном состоянии и регулярно проводил сканирование системы.
Как исправить ошибки Sessions.xml — 3-шаговое руководство (время выполнения: ~5-15 мин.)

Шаг 3. Выполните обновление Windows.
Когда первые два шага не устранили проблему, целесообразно запустить Центр обновления Windows. Во многих случаях возникновение сообщений об ошибках Sessions.xml может быть вызвано устаревшей операционной системой Windows. Чтобы запустить Центр обновления Windows, выполните следующие простые шаги:
- Нажмите кнопку «Пуск» в Windows
- В поле поиска введите «Обновить» и нажмите ENTER.
- В диалоговом окне Центра обновления Windows нажмите «Проверить наличие обновлений» (или аналогичную кнопку в зависимости от версии Windows)
- Если обновления доступны для загрузки, нажмите «Установить обновления».
- После завершения обновления следует перезагрузить ПК.
Если Центр обновления Windows не смог устранить сообщение об ошибке Sessions.xml, перейдите к следующему шагу. Обратите внимание, что этот последний шаг рекомендуется только для продвинутых пользователей ПК.
Если эти шаги не принесут результата: скачайте и замените файл Sessions.xml (внимание: для опытных пользователей)

СОВЕТ ОТ СПЕЦИАЛИСТА: Мы должны подчеркнуть, что переустановка Windows является достаточно длительной и сложной задачей для решения проблем, связанных с Sessions.xml. Во избежание потери данных следует убедиться, что перед началом процесса вы создали резервные копии всех важных документов, изображений, установщиков программного обеспечения и других персональных данных. Если вы в настоящее время не создаете резервных копий своих данных, вам необходимо сделать это немедленно.
Скачать файлы Sessions.xml (проверено на наличие вредоносного ПО — отсутствие 100 %)
ВНИМАНИЕ! Мы настоятельно не рекомендуем загружать и копировать Sessions.xml в соответствующий системный каталог Windows. Micro Research II, как правило, не выпускает файлы 3D-Album XML для загрузки, поскольку они входят в состав установщика программного обеспечения. Задача установщика заключается в том, чтобы обеспечить выполнение всех надлежащих проверок перед установкой и размещением Sessions.xml и всех других файлов XML для 3D-Album. Неправильно установленный файл XML может нарушить стабильность работы системы и привести к тому, что программа или операционная система полностью перестанут работать. Действовать с осторожностью.
