Windows Me - Disable all hidden system logging

November 29, 2013
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

Für spätere Analysen (wie z.B. bei Fehlern) zeichnet Windows gewisse Aktionen auf. Darunter zählen Abstürze, Hardware- und Softwareinstallationen sowie Änderungen an der Systemkonfiguration. Diese Protokollierung benötigt relativ viel Systemressourcen und sollte für die meisten sowieso nicht vonnöten sein. Die Funktion schreibt nämlich permanent auf die Festplatte und fragmentiert diese nach einer Zeit. Um die gesamte Protokollierung in die Wüste zu schicken gehen Sie folgendermaßen vor:

1. Click on Start > Run and type regedit to open the Windows registry editor.

2. Now navigate through the keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM and first double-click on EnableEvents in the right-hand pane. Replace the existing 1 with a 0.

3. Now click twice on the next value called Logging and change it to 0 as above.

4. The next value to be exchanged is called Backup Interval Threshold, which is best set to 100. This is the time interval in minutes at which the data is automatically recorded.

Nachdem Sie nun neugestartet haben sind Sie die Last der Protokollierung los. Schauen Sie aber bitte noch in dem Ordner C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM\Logs\ vorbei und löschen Sie dessen Inhalt.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION:This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
