About this tag
Log noise on Windows 11 refers to repeated, non-critical Event Viewer entries that appear after certain updates, often flagged as cosmetic by Microsoft. Recent threads focus on CertEnroll Event ID 57, tied to the Microsoft Pluton Cryptographic Provider, and Windows Firewall Event ID 2042, linked to an in-development feature. These entries do not affect system functionality or security but can clutter logs and cause concern for administrators. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and provided guidance to ignore the entries until a fix is delivered. The tag covers recurring themes of harmless logging artifacts, update-induced noise, and official responses from Microsoft.
