Note:
\Windows\*.log
deletes the MSDTC.LOG in Winsxs which causes SFC to complain about file corruption. Is there any way to use the .ini to leave certain files alone that end up in the exclude filters to keep it from being deleted?

Add it under this section, e.g. x86
Code:
[ExclusionException]
\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17415_none_ae3f62487b62fd48\MSDTC.LOG

MSDTC.log seems to be the only log file found in winsxs so I used \Windows\winsxs\*.log

8.1 same as 10, FontCache-S-1-5-21-*.dat to be excluded

recent W10 builds also need this for exclusion
Code:
\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache\*

Shoould be changed to this:
Code:
\Windows\ServiceProfiles\*\AppData\Local\FontCache-S-1-5-21-*.dat
\Windows\ServiceProfiles\*\AppData\Local\FontCache\*
\Windows\ServiceProfiles\*\AppData\Local\Temp\*
