Can we check event logs in the registry keys of operating system?

Question

Hi All,

This is regarding KB5025885 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5025885-how-to-manage-the-windows-boot-manager-revocations-for-secure-boot-changes-associated-with-cve-2023-24932-41a975df-beb2-40c1-99a3-b3ff139f832d).."support.microsoft.com") We have applied the suggested changes on the endpoint and in order to verify that the remediation has been successfully applied, Microsoft suggested to look for some event logs on the eventvwr. So, we have our way of querying the eventvwr for the specific log given by Microsoft.

But the querying the eventvwr takes time. So, we would like to know if there are any other ways to find out if the remediation given in the KB5025885 have been applied successfully like in the registry keys where we can find the event logs because querying the registry would be a lot easier for us.

Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

Event logs in Windows operating systems are not stored directly within the Windows Registry. Event logs are a structured collection of records that capture system, security, and application events. They are stored as separate files with specific formats, and they can be accessed and managed through the Event Viewer tool rather than the Registry.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
