If Open Control Panel, click Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off and then look at the settings for Internet Information Services they are ALL turned off, no ticks against any entry. Yet when I run Ccleaner it often lists 'IIS log files' amongst the stuff to be cleaned.
That makes me curious, if IIS is not available on my Win 10 Pro 22H2 PC, how come IIS log files are being generated?
Anyone got any ideas?

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

Re: IIS
IIS is a general purpose web server in Windows. Usually, a non-server machine does not have IIS installed. If you were doing heavy-duty web development you might have IIS activated to test/check how web pages or files look and act before updating a production server.
Have you examined any of the log files to see if you can identify the source?

Re: IIS
Yes, I know this and, if the relevant Control Panle entries are to be believed, IIS is not installed on my PC.
No, but the next time Ccleaner lists IIS logs file in its list of stuff to be cleared I'll see if I can find them and look at them.
I just wondered if IIS log files appearing on a machine that doesn't IIS was a known issue.
Maybe it's Ccleaner falsely identifying these files as IIS logs?
