Mike Hall Disabling Event Viewer will do nothing for performance and will limit what you can do when trying to find out what is going wrong. Don't do it.. In reply to Mike Hall My question is: it is save if i disable this "windows event log" and what damage my pc if i do this??

Thank u!! Gerry C J Cornell. In reply to bobostefanixx's post on September 27, Mike Told you the answer. Based on the test, it's this specific build issue. We have submit this feedback via our own channel. Obviously not deemed as important enough to fix, even though affecting enterprise customers who have moved to Windows Confirmed bug.

Problem is fixed in RS4. RS3 Backports scheduled for 1st quarter of next year if all goes according to plan. Fresh Windows Install. Set to archive when full. No matter the size you set the security log will not archive! This is outrageous! How are Windows 10 supposed to enter the Enterprise when such critical functions break on a build to build basis. Spent almost a day of work when configuring our security baseline for Event Logging on clients and was working on the "latest and greatest" build , just to find out that after all this development, such crucial things break.

This is still a problem on W10 see screenshot below. Does anyone have any additional information? Thanks in advance. For anyone following this thread especially secRMM customers , we i. Hope to get a fix very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Bug still exists in W10 ! The Microsoft engineer I have been working with has confirmed the bug. Unfortunately, it still hasn't been promoted to the Microsoft development team.

For anyone who is following this thread especially secRMM customers , I still cannot get Microsoft to address the issue. I am trying and so is the Microsoft support engineer I am talking to but still no luck in getting a Microsoft developer to address this.

I will keep you posted when I get more information. Sorry for this insanity. Once I have the update regarding the hotfix then I will definitely update you. If anyone reading this thread feels this bug is a Severity 1 bug as I do and wants to reach out to your Microsoft representative, here is the support incident number and title: [REG] Event Log does not archive when full. Sure thing. Still getting the same story from Microsoft about this bug. It is such a critical bug for an operating system.

The worst part about this bug is that when the event log fills, you just start loosing new events. The ReportEvent Win32 API this is what programs call to create an event in an event log always returns that it succeeded but in reality, the event is lost. Since I have this as an open bug with Microsoft, I will ask them to verify that this is the fix across all the OS versions. I am having the same issue with several Windows 10 machines on They reach the set maximum file size of kb and then get stuck and end up overwriting logs.

I have checked event viewer settings for each log and verified that they were indeed set to auto archive and that the max file size was kb, I have set group policy on the domain to make sure that they are set to auto archive and nothing else. I have also given the event log account and the local service account full permissions into the log folder and all other child items. I have updated to the latest cumulative update for Windows 10 that came out this month. I'm starting to grasp at straws here.

Does anyone have an update? I have the same problem. Tried build , and Good news. As a sanity check, once you have "Windows 10 version " installed, you should go into powershell and type the command: get-hotfix -id KB see screenshot below Hope this is helpful. Addresses an issue that prevents the Windows Event Log service from processing notifications that the log is full.

Is there a way to remove the permission of emptying the registry to regular users? Wednesday, May 30, AM. Asked 9 years, 2 months ago. Active 3 years, 3 months ago.

This is great, thanks! I've actually created a custom view for just the service that spams excluding 'Information' logs which will be fine for now. The Application Log still will be spammed though. Yes, it will be, but you won't see it in your Custom View. ErickC ErickC 29 1 1 bronze badge.
