    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.

    Anniversary update clears event log, known behavior?


    Hello!

    I noticed that during installation of the anniversary update Windows 10 completely cleared the event log (along with the list of installed updates).

    Is that a known behavior?

    Thanks in advance for feedback!
