Since Windows 2000, all versions of Windows have included ESENT.DLL in Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), and it is used by many Windows components including Windows Update.

According to the Microsoft moderator, ESENT (ESE Runtime) can run after users log in to Windows 10. It also helps desktop search and indexing of media directories in the operating system.

users have widely reported ESENT issues on Microsoft community forums and Reddit. Users worry that failures may eventually cause trouble to their machine systems, but at least for most users, this does not seem to be the case.

According to user reports and foreign media tests, Windows 10 version 2004 ESENT 642 warnings are also recorded in the event viewer.
