    Excessive logs on event viewer? Normal or hacked?


    I just recently found out about Event Viewer, and I am having worries about my logs. Is it normal for there to be dozens of Security Audits with the ID 5379 logs per second when using your laptop? I'm also getting a lot of 4624, 4672, and 5382 logs. Did I get hacked or something or is this normal? My logs look similar to this guy's reddit post ones. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/btdpsc/i_could_really_use_some_help_please/Also, is it possible to find out which application is causing all of these security audits? The SubjectUserSid seems to be similar for most of these logs.

    :)

    Clear All Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows  


    FWIW CCleaner will clear the Event Viewer Logs - just check the box under Windows>Advanced>Windows Events Logs. run CCleaner and it's that simple. Much faster than most ,bat files I've tried. Just a suggestion.

    Excessive logs on event viewer? Normal or hacked?

    No log file locations in Event Viewer

    I opened Win 10's Event Viewer (first as myself, second as Administrator) and tried to create a Custom View.

    I chose reporting By Log, but when I clicked on the drop-down menu for log locations, none were listed.

    What gives?
