Windows 10: Event viewer on laptop-unable to create a custom view

Am trying to create a custom view within Windows 10 x64 1809 on my laptop.
Regretfully I can't select a log file - or whatever - all is greyed out.
This versus event viewer Windows 10 x64 1803 on PC.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks!

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.

 

Event Viewer Starts in Custom Views


For some reason Event Viewer now starts on my laptop showing Custom Views (see below). How do I fix it so Event Viewer starts showing the top level item in the menu Event Viewer (Local)?

 

Event Viewer Starts in Custom Views

Hi Steve, here is a short video I made last year to show Brink something, I had noticed.
I hope it helps you understand, that Event viewer "remembers" after it has been closed in the same view a few times, unless you use Ccleaner and have MS Management Console checked, which then resets all MMC views.
