We found that there are over 90% event log are related ID4673. And, most of them are related the Browser (Edge, Chrome & Firefox).

May I know the reason why the large of event log issued from Browser, is it fault?

How can we ignore the events?

how can we configure the schedule log using the retention for 6 months with dynamic storage size instead of using the fixed storage size?

    Event ID 4673 typically relates to sensitive privileges being used on a Windows system. This event is triggered when a user or a process attempts to use a privileged service, which can be common for web browsers due to their interaction with various system components and services.

    Use event filtering:

    • Create a custom view in Event Viewer
    • Set up a filter to exclude Event ID 4673 or specific sources

    Bowser modification:

    • Review and modify browser security settings
    • Disable or remove unnecessary extensions.

    Local Group Policy Editor:

    In Start Search type Gpedit.msc and hit the Enter key

    Navigate to Security Settings > Advanced Audit Policy Configuration > System Audit Policies > Privilege Use

    Modify the "Audit Sensitive Privilege Use" setting.
