Windows 10: EventLog service monopolizes the hard drive

For the past several hours the EventLog service, svchost.exe LocalServerNetworkRestricted -p has been writing around 20 megabytes per second to file C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-Store%4Operational.evtx

I figure that's more than a terabyte so far. But Windows File Explorer says the file is 19,588KB in size.

Also the process uses 15% of the CPU and has accumulated 2 hours 30 minutes of CPU time so far.

What is it doing?

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

 

EventLog service not starting with error 193

Hi All,

Recently EventLog stoped working on mine Windows 10 machine. When I try to start service it gives me following error:

Unable to start EventLog service on Local computer

Error 193: 0xc1

I have no Idea why this is happening. I've opened regedit to check ImagePath entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog and it is set to $SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted

I haven't been using windows for few years already and I might be missing something.

Thanks in advance!
