The security log is now full (Windows 11 Only)

Hi Muhammad,

Good day! I’m Jhakesong and I'll try to help you today.

Give this Event Viewer settings a try and see if it helps. This should avoid the Security log cache being full.

1. Launch Event Viewer
2. Expand Windows Logs
3. Click Security
4. Look under Actions (Right side portion of the window)
5. Click Properties
6. At the very bottom, Under "when maximum event log size is reached", Select Overwrite events as needed (oldest events first)
7. Click Apply and click Okay.
8. Check if the issue still persists

Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!

Thanks for the Respond Mr. JhakeSong.

For this solution, I'm already trying to do this solution but after the next day, it happens again . Is it have any solution to fix this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks for getting back. You also applied the settings in properties? The same issue happened?

Yes also done do that but still happening again..clear log and overwrite.

Thanks. Let's restart the event viewer service. Here's how:

1. Press windows + r
2. Type services.msc
3. From the services windows, scroll down and look for Windows Event Log
4. Right click on it and choose Stop
5. Once stopped, choose restart.

Go back to event viewer.

1. Go to Windows Logs > Security > Properties
2. Make sure the settings are the same (Overwrite events as needed)
3. Check if the logs still indicate it is full.

Let me know what happens next.
