Windows 10: Bug in Event Viewer - Filter Current Log by Event Source

I found a bug trying to view the Event Log on both my v 1803 PCs for the Option Filter Current Log by Event Source.

Nothing appears in the drop down list unless the screen scaling is set to 100%. This strange behaviour is supported by many users based on a Google search. It seems MS infamous software QA strikes again. I guess we will have to wait fro a fix.

Is there a better free Event Viewer to use than that provided in Windows?

See the error below - nothing appears in the drop down box unless you use 100% scaling:

Why is Event Viewer is no longer populating the dropdowns for Event Source and Event Logs on Windows 10 1803 clean install

Hi all,

I have recently formatted and installed the latest build of Windows 10 from iso 1803 17134.48. When I go to Event Viewer and either go to Create Custom View or Filter Current Log the dropdown boxes for Event logs and Event sources do not populate, they are
empty. This looks like a bug with the latest build.

Does anyone know where this information is populated from?

Thanks

Grant

 

Win 10 Event Viewer -- cannot save filter in Custom Views

I try to keep up a custom view for the Event Viewer. Since Win 10 was upgraded I can add exclusions such as ...-1234,-567,-89... but these are not saved upon exit from Event Viewer. Many repeated events are reported and most are not important.

Nor can I find where the filter data is stored: registry, sys32, etc.

Steps: Launch Event Viewer -- find one or more events in the custom view log -- launch Filter Current Custom View -- Add the events to be filtered out (including a (-)minus sign and comma separation. (note that in the current session, the events are
removed as is expected) -- close the Filter Current Custom View (note that there is no Apply button) -- close and restart Event Viewer.

Results: added event filter numbers are removed from the filter list -- any filter brought over from Win 8 upgrade still remain.

Fixing this would be great. Knowing where the data is stored would also be fine.
