Question Every few seconds I get a new event from UserModePowerService in Event Viewer. I think there are tens of thousands of them!

Hello there.

Does anyone know why do I have sooo many events in my System event logs from UserModePowerService? Like, a new event from that source is generated every few seconds! I think there are, literally, tens of thousands of these events! See screenshot.

OS: Windows 11 Home 64bit, Computer type: Laptop, Manufacturer/Model: ASUS X1502ZA, CPU: Intel i5-1240P, Memory: 8 GB DDR4, 3200 MHz, Graphics Card: Intel UHD Graphics, SSD: 512 GB PCIe M.2, BIOS version: 312
Windows Build/Version: Windows 11 22H2 OS Build 22621.1848

Is this a problem? It doesn't seem normal. Thank you for any help!

According to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkP...tly-resetting-power-policy-scheme/m-p/5169289, this is a bug with Intel 12th Gen CPUs. A workaround in that thread says to set the power profile to Maximum Performance

There's possibly another solution in https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/Multiple-UserModePowerService-Event-Id-12-events/td-p/8285548

A quick note: I notice now that those events only appear when the laptop is on battery. When I plug it in, they don't appear. Well, at least when it is fully charged and plugged in. I will experiment with it being plugged-in in charging mode to see if they still appear.

Thank you so much, hotaru.hino, for your response. I will check those links you shared.

And I will add the suggestion to clear the Event Viewer logs.

Get rid of old entries so you can focus on new errors that are captured.

Just to reduce and simplify the amount of information being presented.

May recover some space as well.
