Windows 10 Event Viewer

Just wondering if anyone else pays a great deal of attention to Event Viewer logs?

My PC is running fine on latest Windows 10 2004 OS, but I am getting an awful lot of "Information" events related to Security auditing in the form of User Control Management Tasks. Typically there will be circa 15 event ID's per hour of each of 4624, 4672, 4799, 5379 and 5382. The accompanying narrative describes "logging on", "checking credentials", "reading vault".......etc

They all report an audit "success", but it all seems a bit OTT to me and just wondering if this degree of repetitive process is doing any harm to the hard drive?

There are no signs of resource abuse on task manager and whatever is going on in the background must be in "stealth" mode

If you aren't having any problems why are you looking at the event viewer?  It is normal to see lots of entries about all sorts of things.  Stop looking at it and worrying yourself.  Only go there if there is an actual problem.

A lot of these entries are totally normal.

Thanks for the comments.

Not worried but like to have a look from time to time just to see what's going on. I do make a point of reviewing pre and post windows updates just to see if any new issues have arisen. Again, purely for interest.

If you were to have issues with updates you'd have known about it long before you need to go anywhere near the Event Viewer
