Windows 10: Event Viewer Freezes

Hello, I am using Windows 10 21H1. As far as I know this has happened to every version since 1903 which I was forced to upgrade from several weeks ago.I have a fresh install and all of my drivers are up to date.If I open the event viewer mmc, open and event and then close the event the mmc freezes. If I then open a second mmc it works fine although the first instance still remains frozen and I have to kill it with task manager.Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a hotfix for this?Thanks,

:)

Event Viewer freezes

Hi,

After upgrade from 1909 to 2004 and after displaying properties of a single event the event viewer freezes.

I can use the up/down arrows while an event property is open but as soon as I close the event property

there is no way to select anything within the event viewer anymore - Have to kill mmc via task manager and

re-open eventvwr again. Same happens with task scheduler but not with services!

Funny enough if I use an other user account on this machine then there is no problem at all.

SFC /SCANNOW did not report any error

Any hint most welcome - thanks

Viktor

Event Viewer freezes

Hi

further to my original question I found out that after opening a second (or third, fourth) event viewer then the property of any event can displayed as many times as wanted without mmc getting freezed. Same applies to task scheduler or even if eg task scheduler
is opened followed by event viewer then within event viewer properties can be displayed as many times as wanted.

But task scheduler gets freezed after the first property display unless a second task scheduler is opened then

properties can be displayed as wanted.

Which means only the first mmc gets stuck after displaying a property but consecutive mmc display properties work as desired.

(nb I did SFC/DISM and even did an inplace upgrade - all in vain)

And as stated any other user account works as it should be - only this "primary" user account has this problem.

The (first) mmc which hangs shows the wait chain as "deadlock" but I cannot find any other process which may have

an impact.

Anyone having any hint to what might have a relation to the freezing mmc/deadlock?

Thank you

Viktor

I wrote before that the problem is gone - this is not the case - see above
