    Interesting, but there's a downside: stopping “Windows-Kernel-Licensing-StartService-Trigger” Trace Provider moves Office into unlicensed status. Possibly Windows as well.
    I had managed to stop and delete UBPM running Performance Monitor as TrustedInstaller, but - let alone the Office issue - gave up because it is restored on next reboot anyway.
    A few trace sessions seem critical and cannot be turned off easily. Pretty stubborn stuff.

    My list (LTSC 2021):

    Data Collector Set Type Status
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Eventlog-Security Trace Running
    EventLog-Application Trace Running
    EventLog-System Trace Running
    UserNotPresentTraceSession Trace Running
    UBPM Trace Running

    how you managed to install updates?
    w.u. won't run if you disable this.
    sc config EventLog start= disabled

    do you install updates manually?

    Not sure about the ones u posted in the screenshot?!

    Verify
    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\AutoLogger
    Add the ones u see in the screenshot and re-apply the script to see if those are disabled...

    Have pfun :p

    they dont show up in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\AutoLogger
    only MpWppTracing-07202016-140038-00000003-ffffffff but still its running.. i can set all to disable on start up but theyll show running on event trace session.

    i need to clean install windows but i would like to know how to stop them instead i think they cant be disaabled..
    i already tried the scheduler task but am pretty sure am doing something wrong.

    i created xml file ... have nsudo in c:windows and created a cmd file place it in c:windows
    open task scheduler import the xml. and i gues thats it.. but this code

    Code:
    schtasks /Create /F /TN "Disable UBPM Logging" /XML C:\Disable_UBPM_LOG.xml

    i dont know what to do with the code above...

    without using code above
    i run scheduler restarted but then scheduler and computer mangament doesnt open... i have to go into safe mode and delete the cdm file in c:windows

    and if i find a way to have it stop how can i do the same for the ones running in he p[icture.???

    Some of the ones you showed here in the screenshot, are not on my system. Either an old x86 that i always use... Or a fresh Windows 7 system. Some could be added from other software?!

    The others as showing in the screenshot must be disabled by running that piece of code i posted, as they are disabled here after running the batch file, except for EventLog-System on my old x86 system (I did run the batch on a live system) I never tested this before on this one...

    On a fresh Windows 7 install with a specialize.cmd/setupcomplete.cmd...All are disabled, only UBPM is running on that system as you could see from the screenshot i posted before.

    Must be something in those scripts. Can't say for sure atm, must redo to see... :p

    About the Task Scheduler script:

    1) Save NSudoLC.exe into C:\Windows\System32
    2) Save the batch into C:\Windows
    3) Save the XML somewhere you like...
    4)Then run the SCHTASKS command and point it to the XML

    After rebooting the system, the task runs hidden on startup and removes (atleast) the UBPM one...

    Hey :)

    After running an older LTSC 2019 to see if UBPM is required for WU to work. Although it;s really slow scanning there... :p WU works just fine if that one is disabled. Not sure about the rest

    Code:
    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n WindowsUpdate.20230504.012953.133.1 -ets
    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n 8696EAC4-1288-4288-A4EE-49EE431B0AD9 -ets
    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n UserNotPresentTraceSession -ets
    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n EventLog-System -ets
    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n EventLog-Application -ets

    you are right it does work... i just tested UBPM id disabled.. but why i said it didnt work before.... well when you disable and restart then trying to open computer managment and see all the traces it just doesnt open.... then i tried and open windows update... same blank screen and loading bar.... but i was doing something else when all of the sudden computer managment open it took like a minute or more to open.. then check no UBPM is gone.. then i open windows update and this time it shows availble updates ect.
    thanks i ran a script i was just testing.. so clean install again....
