Event ID 16394 and 16384 getting spammed repeatedly in Event Viewer causing micro freezes.
Hi, Youpull
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I’m sorry I’m late. I failed to describe this clearly in the previous scenario, for which I apologise.
Event Viewer needs to combine processes in Task Manager to see which programs are using Event ID 16384 and ID 16394. Specifically you can see if there are any anomalies in these programs by right clicking on the taskbar>Task Manager>Processes>View Programs with PIDs 16384 and 16394.

Security SPP and Time-Service events
Hello,
I have noticed today those inforamtion in the event logs that concerns me :
Event 16394, Security SPP — migration on the lower level in offline mode was preformed successfully
Event 16384, Security SPP — scheduled a restart of application protection service at 2120-07-05T16:36:02Z Reason : Rules Engine
They occured yesterday while i was away from my switched on computer. I notice those events today as well though.
I also noticed that while being away Time-Service did the following :
158 — The time provider ‘VMICTimeProvider’ has indicated that the current hardware and operating environment is not supported and has stopped. This behavior is expected for VMICTimeProvider on non-HyperV-guest environments. This may be the expected behavior
for the current provider in the current operating environment as well.37 — The time provider NtpClient is currently receiving valid time data from time.windows.com,0x9 (ntp.m|0x9|0.0.0.0:123->40.81.94.65:123).
Could the above events be resposnbile for switching off my Zone Alarm firewall(noticed by WINDOWS 10) and for fiding a new Network(but with the same details) by Avast Antivir?
Thanks for answer in advance

time, both before and after I had to replace the SSD and did a new install of Win11 22h2. I have been for a
long time now just suppressing them in the Event Viewer and since 12/29/22 I have already accumulated 1,311 logs.
Its doing nothing but spamming the Viewer.
Is there a registry hack to turn these off ? I found one to suppress 10016 DCOM logs, but no luck on getting these
permanently stopped in the Registry.

These two logs in Event Viewer ->Applications come out in pairs most times. These have been coming out for a long
time, both before and after I had to replace the SSD and did a new install of Win11 22h2. I have been for a

I think most folk just turn System Restore OFF, and use 3rd party backup software instead.
Like Macrium Reflect or AOMEI Backupper.

I have a relatively new desktop running Windows 10. Recently it started waking from hibernation (I haven’t tested it with sleep mode, but I assume it would do the same) every 5 minutes from approximately midnight until approximately 2:00 AM. When I say every 5 minutes I mean exactly every 5 minutes. The computer turns on, runs its fans at full for a couple of seconds to make sure I’m awake, then goes back into hibernation after about two to three minutes, only to do it again after 5 minutes has elapsed from the last time it woke. The only way I can stop it and get some sleep is to literally unplug it from the wall (or shut it down.) I found log files which show it doing 2 things in pairs. One on the minute, and the next thing about 30 seconds later. I’ve copied 2 pairs of these events, but it continued until 1:57:32 AM then stopped. That’s turning on and off 24 times in 2 hours, which can’t be good for the machine, or for my sleep. It does this every night. How do I stop it? I would like it to NEVER come out of hibernation, or sleep mode, without the power button being pushed.
