The OP asked how to stop EventLog entries. As already hinted, removing or shutting off Windows logging is rarely the right move. As noted, you can stop the Event Log service, but that is risky: many Windows components and troubleshooting paths expect the event system to exist, and disabling it removes diagnostic and audit information needed for support, updates and investigating crashes.

Safer, practical alternatives depending on the goal:

  • Hide noisy entries without disabling logging: create a Custom View in Event Viewer (Custom Views → Create Custom View) and filter by log, level, Event ID or Source. This removes the clutter you see while keeping logs intact.
  • Reduce what gets recorded: tweak Local Security Policy auditing (Local Policies → Audit Policy or Advanced Audit Policy) if security/audit events are the problem.
  • Stop a single app from logging: change that app’s own logging settings or uninstall it. If it’s a third‑party service, consult the vendor rather than killing system logging.
  • Trim or clear logs when needed: set per-log max sizes and overwrite behavior in Event Viewer, or clear specific logs from an elevated command prompt. For example, to clear the System log:
    wevtutil cl System

    Use that only with care and back up logs first if you may need them.

If disabling the Event Log service is still considered, do it only briefly for controlled tests and only after making a full backup or system restore. Prefer filtering or adjusting logging instead of turning off the service entirely — that preserves system stability and your ability to diagnose problems later.

Why on earth do you want to disable it? It can be invaluable when you have problems.

I'm not really sure why you would want to disable it but nonetheless you can do it by following the steps below:

1. Run "services.msc" or in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
2. Look for Windows Eventlog
3. Right-click and Select Properties
4. Under the drop-down "Startup type" select "Disabled"

It should stop logging right after you restart your computer.
