Whenever i try to launch event viewer as an administrator, it opens as a local event viewer.So i found out that i had critical errors and a bunch of Warnings in my Administrative Events, Is that the reason I Can't Launch Event Viewer as an admin?

Event viewer

I suggest you re-install the video driver. I'll add a few words of explanation about Event viewer in a moment. They won't affect the need to reinstall that driver as your first step. Denis

Event Viewer (MCC.exe) crashes 'System.IO.IOException'

I'm afraid this is another Windows 1903 bug (current ver 1836.175) as it is reproducible on every (?) PC.
