Archived Security filling up stroage (Windows 11 Pro 23H2)

Hello,

I’ve noticed that many of my users’ storage drives are filling up due to archived security logs. I’ve been manually deleting these logs, but this is time-consuming given the number of users I manage.

I attempted to fix the issue via Group Policy by creating a policy under: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Event Log Settings > Retain Security Log, and set it to delete logs older than 1 day. Then running gpupdate force then restarting the computer. It doesn’t seem to be working.

I also tried adjusting the maximum log size for the Security log, but that hasn’t helped either.

We are running Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, and I’m looking for a solution that:

Doesn’t require disabling security logs

Doesn’t rely on third-party tools

Is there a recommended way to manage or auto-clear these logs through GPO or another built-in method? It's really slowing down our computers and its very frustrating!

I've already tried using this forum nothing worked.

Any guidance would be appreciated!
