siliconman01 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 This applies to Windows 7 x86 Pro and Windows 8 x64 Pro and CCleaner V4.05 and V4.06. The Advanced>Windows Event Log does not removed any of the Event Viewer logs. I suspect that this is a permissions problem. A reboot does not remove them either. The Event Viewer shows hundreds of logs on my system and CCleaner finds 0 logs on Analyze and Clean Windows 10 x64 Pro on ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme motherboard, i7-6700k CPU,H220 X2 Liquid Cooler, 64 gbyte RipJaws DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 500 gbyte SSD + Samsung 850 Pro 512 gbyte SSD, EVGA RTX 3060 Titan graphics card (Home Built System); Windows 11x64 Pro on 512 gigabyte Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 Laptop/tablet and Dell XPS 8940 PC.

Moderators hazelnut Posted September 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2013 No problem here with XP or Windows 7 64bit. The 'amounts cleaned' for event viewer logs are not shown in the summary window (and that's the same for everyone) When you say permissions problems, what do you mean? (I know I shouldn't but I have to ask, did you tick the box for event viewer logs?)

siliconman01 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 They may be locked by the event viewer service. Yes, I agree. I'm wondering if they need to be handled like Index.dat or set to be deleted on next reboot?

Moderators hazelnut Posted September 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2013 Have you given the 'event logs' clean a run, rebooted, and then looked? Or are you saying no matter what you do this doesn't work? What security set up do you run?

Or are you saying no matter what you do this doesn't work? What security set up do you run? No matter what I do on the Windows 7 and/or Windows 8 computers, it does not clean out the Event logs. I am running under Administrator privileges on my User account on all systems. I even tried CCleaner with my Windows 7 system booted into Safe Mode....still no cleaning of the Event Viewer logs.

siliconman01 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Are you able to clear your logs manually or does even this not work? Yes, I can clear them manually. Always have been able to. The .bat file at the link below will clear all of the event viewer logs on Windows 7 and 8 (32/64 bit). It does have to be "Run as Administrator".....at least it does on my systems.

Alan_B Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Yes, I can clear them manually. Always have been able to.

I run with UAC turned off. http://www.sevenforu...lick-clear.html 1. I understand that "Run as Administrator" jumps over hurdles that block Administrator privileges on a user account, hence to be fair you should ONLY compare BAT file capabilities with CCLeaner under the same condition. If your "Administrator privileges on a user account" are NOT sufficient to use the BAT file then you are running CCleaner WITHOUT adequate access. 2. When I updated Macrium Reflect from version 5.1.???? to 5.2.???? I lost the context menu ability to unmount a mounted image. The first reason suggested by a Macrium user on the Macrium forum was that I ran with UAC turned off. A Macrium developer rapidly corrected him and advised that this Only Applies to Windows 8 (or perhaps 8.1 - I forget) My particular problem was identified as a failure of the update installer to register an executable, and a couple of "Run as Administrator CMD.EXE" Dos commands sorted out the registration and my context menu worked. The point of this anecdote is that I learnt from this experience that even when the executables are correctly registered, For Windows 8 THAT CONTEXT MENU ITEM ONLY WORKS WHILST UAC IS TURNED ON. Moral of the story - If you do not want UAC then Windows 8 is not the O.S. for you - choose Linux to avoid surprising failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
