Windows 10: Service Host - Windows Event Log High Disk Usage backing file max size

Windows 10.0.19041.662


Service Host: Windows Event Log constantly at 80%-100%. Event Viewer shows a Warning in Kernel-EventTracing every few seconds entry for:


The backing-file for the real-time session "EventLog-Application" has reached its maximum size. As a result, new events will not be logged to this session until space becomes available. This error is often caused by starting a trace session in real-time mode without having any real-time consumers.


How do I increase size or stop Warning? I tried to Disable Log, but the Warning continues.

High Disk Usage

Hi all, I'm struggling with finding things to fix my high disk usage. I've spent many months searching the internet and doing all the listed suggestions like disabling SuperFetch, Windows Defender, Updating drivers, ect. and still I'm stuck with a high disk usage. Here's a screen shot I took immediately following a restart and opening up to a new Firefox window.





I have noticed Service Host: Local System takes up quite a bit of disk usage and that if I close it and let it open back up all by itself then it immediately makes my disk usage drop into a much more manageable 40-60% usage range. But eventually after a while it maxes out again and I have to close it out again. It's an annoying step just to be able to use my computer.

Also, I have noticed that after working with my mom's computer today, that her disk usage when no programs are running is only like 5%. Makes me wonder why my computer can have no programs running but my disk usage never drops below 30% and sits in the 40-60% range with spikes up over 75%.

I honestly don't know enough about computers to do much more than I already have without causing major issues. BTW, just a couple weeks ago I had to do a Windows reinstall, not a complete reinstall, just the basic reinstall they allow you to do on Windows 10 where you still keep all your personal files. Ever since that a lot of times when I try to open a process like Run or Task Manager I'll get an error message that it can't open and then I do it again and it will open the second time.

Here's a screenshot of my computer information so you can see what I'm working with here.

 

Windows 10 - High Disk Usage - 100%

I am seeing high disk usage, often between 90 and 100%.

I have tried adjusting some settings, some help temporarily but after a restart I have the same high disk usage issue.

• Disable superfetch
• Disable Windows Search
• Disable Windows Update
• Disable Geolocation Services
• Disable Network Services
• Manually adjust paging file size for programs and background services
• Got rid of apps (no chrome, got rid of bloat like Amazon, etc.)

The main user of disk usage appears to be Service Host Local System 13 and it uses anywhere between .5 and 10 MB.

Below is a snip of the task manager. Computer is Dell Inspiron 15 - 3000 series. 4 GB RAM, 64 bit operating system and AD A4 processor if that helps.

Any ideas on how to resolve the high disk usage issue permanently?
