Windows 10: Windows 10 Low Disk Space Event not being logged

Hello,

Windows 10 is not logging Low Disk Space for D drive, used for videos storage, in Windows Event Log. I googled and it seems event should be with Event ID of 2013 but no such event is logged. I do get Windows notification about Low Disk in Notification Area but no event is logged. Initially, registry was missing 2 REG_DWORD which *should* enable this event to be logged. I programmed these in:

LowDiskSpaceMinimum: 0x00a(10)
DiskSpaceThreshold: 0x0190(400)

I restarted the computer and cold booted the PC a few times but still can't get event log to register Low Disk space event. I have searched for couple of days to figure this out but no luck. Right now there 0 Free Bytes on D drive. Could really use some help on this.

Thanks

:)

 

Disc Drive "D" storage capacity dwindling

Hello,

My computer is running low on disk space. My computer has two restore points, windows update logs are cleaned, along with event viewer logs & temp. files. Logs keep filling up a 1GB of space daily. The computer only has 2.5 GB of free space. Do you know
of any hidden files that need to be cleared?

 

How to Free Up Disk Space in Windows 10

Hello,

There are factors to consider should you are running low on disk space in Windows 10. One reason is the
temporary internet files being saved on your hard drive. We suggest
performing a disk clean up to help you free some hard drive space. To do this, simply follow the steps in this

article.

Regards.

 

RIght-click the Start button, go to Disk Management. Post a screen shot of the charts, we need to know full information about the drive/s in your system and the partitions on them. There are partitions that should not/can not be used for users' data storage but they usually too small to be useful. Sometimes/frequently it is useful to empty the Recycle Bin.

 

It has nothing to do with reclaiming the disk space or Recycle Bin or partitions. I dump video files on it and all I want is Disk Full Event to be logged into Windows Event Log. That is all.

 

Okay. But I'd be very concerned if it were my computer in having 0 MB 0% free space available on that D: drive as your image shows.

 

I have some automation script that cleans up the drive but it is using polling mechanism and it works but I would like to automate this task based on event, i.e, event driven. Windows 10 Event Viewer has this automation built in but it needs to log that event so I can automate what happens when Disk Full event is triggered. Windows is not logging Disk Full Event, hence, I am here to seek help.

 

Which log are you looking in? System log?

 

Yes. But I also looked in other locations such as Applications, etc. as well.
