How to disable the stdout.log in JBoss EAP service in Windows

Issue

• How to disable stdout.log in JBoss EAP 7 ?
• The stdout.log is increasing in size rapidly and filling up disk space.
• standalone.bat would not generate the stdout.log but starting as a service in Windows still would generate stdout.log even if the below configuration was added to the logging system.

   <logger category="stdout">
      <level name="OFF"/>
   </logger>
