CAUSE

This problem occurs because of the behavior of the Windows Error Reporting Service (WerSvc). If the manifest file (Wertargets.wtl) is in an expired state when the Windows Error Reporting Service starts, Windows Error Reporting Service logs Event ID 5007. This is the expected behavior of Windows Error Reporting Service. However, the manifest file expires when the service starts. Therefore, Event ID 5007 is logged every time that the computer starts.

Note This event does not indicate that a problem exists on the computer. You can safely ignore this event.
