    i spoke too soon... disabling UBPM hangs for a while . like when i try to open task manager computer management or install a program it hangs for like 3-4 minutes then it opens. not sure what is happening once it open you can then open it again instantly.
    as for
    MPP and SHS it seems that those 2 create a new file name based on the date and time..

    NSudoLC -U:T -P:E logman stop -n SHS-05042023-185432-7-7f -ets
    SHS-05042023-230640-7-7f
    SHS-05042023-232050-7-7f
    am on windows 10 22H2 latest.

    Interesting... I also have hangs lasting several minutes when I try to open most of the MMCs (Event Log, Task Scheduler), but not always (services.msc always starts instantly, and sometimes the others). Now I start to think that that's Kernel trying to start UBPM (and in the instances when I see it started, Kernel has already done that job). I'll try to have start=1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\UBPM (but all GUIDs below it still have enabled=0).

    These hangs are not critical, everything still works, I just have to wait a minute or few to open these MMCs which I rarely use.

    It happens on both Win7 and Win10, I think they are the same regarding this issue (in general, about autologgers and event logs).

    I also remembered that in the beginning, when 7 came out, it was advised to leave UBPM alone since it was linked to Task Scheduler and many other internals, I guess that knowledge got lost in the depths of Internet...

    Maybe Task Scheduler starts UBPM when UBPM is disabled? We might never know. :rolleyes: Or at least I won't, because I always disable all scheduled tasks. :p

    This didn't solve the hang (after a restart, of course).

    i decided to leave it alone... for me once MMC is open and hangs other apps open fine but some then hangs too. so ill just leave it alone.
    am not at reading logs but i also wanted to know what was causing the hang. but i know nothing about reading logs.

    am using a modified script and i spent yesterday and today.. when disabling a task i could no longer acces the log in password pressing any key didnt change unless i click on the mouse.. now am ready to clean install again. i just hope that windows spothlight works...

    This could also due to disabled service(s) Then you get an error while trying to open that setting...


    After disabling UBPM the Task Scheduler does a little weird all of a sudden. Like it cannot connect to the remote computer....After some tries it does work once again.

    Best to skip what you aren't interested to.

    No one force you to read everything.

    Logic might suggest editing @Dark Dinosaur's script itself

    suggestions
    change
    Code:
    Auditpol /set /category:* /Success:disable /failure:disable
    to
    Code:
    Auditpol /set /category:* /Success:disable /failure:enable
    or
    Code:
    Auditpol /set /category:* /Success:enable /failure:enable
    change LogLevel and TraceLevel DWORD values to 3 (seems to be the recommended value here, see available values earlier in the thread)

    change findstr "HKEY"`) do >nul reg add "%%a %%b" /f /v "Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 <-- to 1 and
    findstr "HKEY"`) do >nul reg add "%%a %%b" /f /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 <-- to 1

    suggested changes should? give you an Enable as opposed to the afforementioned / presented Disable script... I could be wrong
