1. Creating the Batch Script:
   1. 1. Open Notepad or any text editor.
      2. Copy the following script into the text editor:

   reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Reliability Analysis\WMI" /v WMIEnable /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F
   del /f /S /Q /A "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\RAC\PublishedData\*"
   del /f /S /Q /A "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\RAC\StateData\*"
   @echo off
   FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
   IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
   for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
   echo.
   echo goto theEnd
   :do_clear
   echo clearing %1
   wevtutil.exe cl %1
   goto :eof
   :noAdmin
   exit
   

   1. Save the file with a .bat extension, for example, reset-reliability-monitor.bat.
2. Running the Batch Script:
   1. Locate the batch file you just created.
   2. Right-click on the file and select “Run as administrator”. This step is important as the script requires administrative privileges to execute properly.
   3. Wait for the script to execute. It will reset the Reliability Monitor by clearing all problem reports and resetting the stability index.
3. Confirmation:Once the script has run, you can open the Reliability Monitor to confirm that the history has been cleared and the stability index reset.

Note: It is important to understand that running scripts can make significant changes to your system. Only proceed if you are comfortable with these operations and understand the script’s actions.
