I had a PC that was behaving strangely.

I eventually looked into the Windows event viewer, and found an odd error (amongst others):

the maximum file size for session readyboot has been reached.

So a search reveals its could be safely ignored… but I’m not convinced.

Since the most accepted solution is to increase the filesize limit, I decide to try it.

In regedit, I go to:

hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\Control\WMI\Autologger\readyboot

Then change MaxFileSize from 14 (hex) to 40 (hex) (ie triple the max file size).

When I restart the PC, the readyboot error (and a few other errors… eg a WMI error) are gone.

Next: look at the other errors, and see if any can be fixed
