One approach that may work for some just wanting to reduce disk wear, is using the Windows UWF or Unified Write Filter redirecting to a small RAM disk, but to make this fly in any general purpose computing application you'll be editing extensive exclusion list - which is time consuming and cumbersome, and again right in line with Microsoft's user hostile experience.

There have been a lot of circuitous attempts, like this one via suspending threads but none work reliably for simply in suspending Windows Event Logging. There are also User use cases where no control over Windows Event Logging is in typical Microsoft fashion, user hostile design, as there is no longer any simple method of suspending logging when it's not needed, wanted, and is actually a liability. the original post: the Windows Event Log does indeed write an enormous amount of data to disk over time and there are a lot of use cases where this is very undesirable like embedded systems that can't be serviced and disk wear is a concern and resources are at a premium so reducing all unnecessary i/o as much as possible is desirable.
