RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, run a script to stop the Event ID 10 messages. To run this script, follow these steps:

In a text editor, such as Notepad, create a new text document named Test.vbs.

Paste the following code into Test.vbs:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\subscription")

Set obj1 = objWMIService.Get("__EventFilter.Name='BVTFilter'")

set obj2set = obj1.Associators_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")

set obj3set = obj1.References_("__FilterToConsumerBinding")



For each obj2 in obj2set
                WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
                WScript.echo obj2.GetObjectText_
                obj2.Delete_
next

For each obj3 in obj3set
                WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
                WScript.echo obj3.GetObjectText_
                obj3.Delete_
next

WScript.echo "Deleting the object"
WScript.echo obj1.GetObjectText_
obj1.Delete_

After you run this script, the Event ID 10 messages stop appearing in the Application log. However, you have to manually clear any previous Event ID 10 messages.

Note Make sure that you only delete the appropriate Event ID 10 messages. There may be other pertinent Event ID 10 messages that you do not want to delete.
