title: TPM messages are flooding my event viewer
body: <p>I am trying to troubleshoot a Windows 10 Pro system.  This is complicated by the fact that the system event log is flooded by a set of identical information level messages about TPM every minute.</p>
  <p>The messages are:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>The TPM has been cleared. Reason: ByPPI.</li>
  <li>The Ownership of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware on this computer was
  successfully taken (TPM TakeOwnership command) by the system.</li>
  <li>The TBS device identifier has been generated.</li>
  <li>The TPM was successfully provisioned and is now ready for use.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>I found a TPM-Maintenance task in the task scheduler that seems to run every minute.<br />
  Can someone explain why Windows is clearing the TPM once a minute?  Is that necessary?  Can I safely disable the TPM-Maintenance task to prevent this flood of messages?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
