Windows 10: Event Viewer 'Create Custom View' Drop Down gone w/ clean 1803 Home

I just noticed, on my laptop with 1803 17134.81 Home installed, that I can no longer get a drop down list in the Event Viewer for the radio buttons 'By Log' or 'By Source' under 'Create Custom View' nor under 'Filter Current Custom View', even after systematically reinstalling older images going back to my first clean install of 1803 17134.1.

It's was working on the my last 1709 16299.402 image however, and it's all still working on my desktop 1803 17134.81 Pro configuration.

Anybody else see this with 1803 Home?

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.

 

How do I open Event Viewer with Window Event Viewer: Custom Views> Adminstrative Events?

Hi

,

I open Windows Event Viewer often (most days) to take a look for entries in the Windows 10 created Filter

Custom Views> ServerRoles> Administrative Events. (especially as my Win 10Pro (x64) is newly installed)What I wish to seek advice on is, how can I adjust my Desktop shortcut
%windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s so that when I click on it Window Event Viewer will always open with
Custom Views> ServerRoles> Administrative Events expanded (which I believe is a Windows filter). I did manage to work out how to open with "Windows Logs> Applications" but I am not able to use the same method with
Administrative Events.

My clean install of Win 10 Pro (x64) Windows Event Viewer always opens with Event Viewer (Local) and I have to drill down the tree each time to view "Administrative Events"

I have searched the Web (without success) and also viewed eventvwr /? via cmd.exe but it is beyond my understanding in relation to what I wish to achieve.

I am hoping somebody can kindly advise me on what I need in my shortcut.

Many thanks
