Please help. When I run a scan of my system, I get an error message “unable to scan, the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded” I cannot figure out what that means, or how to fix it.
Thanks
This is the exact message you get, or are you using a non-English version of Windows and trying to translate the message? (in that case, please post the original text)
Is the error shown only in the results with the boot record (and the rest of the scan runs without any problems), or is the scan interrupted by this error?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, that was the exact message I was getting. And it only affected the boot record results. I was able to do the rest of the scan. However, I scanned my system again, and did not receive the error.
