This is a Success Audit event that is generated exclusively during the system boot sequence. It provides a point-in-time inventory of every persistent filter currently registered within the Base Filtering Engine (BFE).

Auditing:     Rarely

This event is logged for each filter of each WFP provider at startup. Enable only if you need a full WFP filter baseline at boot for forensic comparison or to detect unauthorized persistent filters added by malware or rogue drivers.


Volume:     Low Medium

A single WFP provider can register dozens of filters. On servers running AV, EDR, or VPN software with complex WFP rulesets the count can reach several hundred per boot.
