Windows 10 – High CPU Usage with EvntAgnt Warning Event ID 3007 in Event Log

Today I've noticed my PC behaving oddly. CPU was high with Windows Event Log taking a lot of my CPU resources. Seemed weird at first. I've disabled all forwarders from Domain Controllers to see if something went wrong during my development but nothing changed. I then checked Resource Monitor and noticed High Disk Writes to Application Log. Which finally led me to this little error… well sort of 20MB of **Warnings **for **EvntAgnt **with **Event ID **3007 going around in loops.

💡 Short description of problem

With Event Description

This seems to happen on Windows 10 Enterprise – 10.0.17713 Build 17713 (Insiders) release. Not sure if it happens on any other version.

💡 How do I get rid of it?

Solution, weirdly enough is to disable SNMP Service. So just go to **services.msc, **find **SNMP Service, **then stop it, and finally disable it.

This solved my issue. Why does this happen? I don't know. I do know I'm using Insider version of Windows 10 so I have to expect bugs like this. Hope it helps :-)
