System logging unable to record events
4.5
The system is running, but no new entries are appearing in the logs.
Symptoms
- Logs stuck at an old date
- Missing crash reports
- No "Audit Success" entries
Possible Causes
- Log file reached max size
- Disk is write-protected
- Logging service crashed
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Enable Overwriting
Ensure logs are set to "Overwrite events as needed" when the max size is reached.
2
Check Disk Space
If the disk is 100% full, the logging service will stop silently.
3
Restart Windows Event Log
A simple service restart often fixes a "stuck" logging engine.
When to See a Technician
If logs aren't recording, you may have a "silent" system failure that is hard to track.
