    So, to confirm. You've applied patches since your fix, and your local overwrite was NOT reset?

    (As stated, your fix doesn't work for me, but I'm wondering how consistent it it)

    We are also experiencing this issue. Clearing logs and setting to "Overwrite as needed" while logged in as local admin, setting reverts to "Do not overwrite events". Change as logged in user - same behavior.

    We are currently investigating GPO, but there doesn't seem to be anything explicitly defining this setting.

    Beyond finding out which events are filling up the log, has anyone found a way to have the log keep the "overwrite as necessary" setting?

    I have also been experiencing this issue with Windows 11 22H2 systems. Happens on my primary work laptop and my Windows 365 cloud PC which literally has nothing installed.
