How to disable Windows 10 system log

By default, Windows has a huge number of log files, constantly writing data.

Two ways to stop some of this churning:

Stop logging "Audit Success" in Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), log only "Audit Failure"

• Open the CMD prompt as Administrator: Press Windows, type cmd, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and confirm.
• Type (or copy/paste) the following and press Enter: auditpol /set /subcategory:"Filtering Platform Connection" /success:disable /failure:enable

If this succeeds, expect fewer events to be logged.

Disable individual logs

• Open the Windows Event Viewer: press WindowsR, type eventvwr.msc and press Enter.
• Scroll down to Application and Service Logs, Microsoft, Windows, WFP.
• Right-click on a log process and select Disable Log.

A useful tool to search the Event Logs by name is Nirsoft's Full Event Log View.
