Hi,

Having issues with the Windows Event Log. It won't show. Even tried to clear it with this error. Even if I try to clear it using PowerShell I always end up in "Failed to clear log xxx. The request is not supported.".

Already tried sfc /scannow, of course restarting...

Help?

Running Windows 8.1 x64

The best way to delete all the Event Viewer log files, including the combined administrator log, courtesy of Windows Seven Forums at this site http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/25480-event-viewer-one-click-clear.html?ltr=E

Copy and paste the following twelve lines to Notepad, save it as ClearAll.bat. Run it by right-click or press and holding it and choosing Run as Administrator. Here are the twelve lines:

@echo off

FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V

IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin

for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")

echo.

echo goto theEnd

:do_clear

echo clearing %1

wevtutil.exe cl %1

goto :eof

:noAdmin

exit

Thanks, but no. As stated, even from PowerShell will end up in the same error (which access the same utility).
