Windows 10: Event viewer shows 0 events for Start / Stop?

Hi. I'm running 1903.

For some years I have used a simple program called PC On/Off Time to monitor when my computer has been booted up, put to sleep and shut down. It isn't working correctly anymore after recently recovering my computer which installed 1903.

I contacted the developer and inquired whether or not he has noted this issue. He suggested I open the event viewer to see if these events are being logged. I believe I successfully followed the instructions on this page:
How to See PC Startup And Shutdown History in Windows 10 - Make Tech Easier

When I ordered then scrolled through events I could see events labeled 6005 and 6006 but they were not identified as start or stop events. When I filtered the log for 6005, 6006 specifically, the filter indicated 0 events.

Of note, during the recovery process I did engage the power button when I thought things had stalled out - nothing obvious happened and some time later recovery was completed and haven't noticed any unusual behavior. The only reason I noticed this is because of this light-weight program I like to use, primarily to monitor my personal sleep patterns.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Event Viewer problem with latest Windows Build 1607

After installing the new Windows build 1607, the Event Viewer stopped recording events under Diagnostic Performance. (Before 1607 I checked the files located under Windows.old dated 9/23/2016 and located this file which indeed did have a list of events
recorded.)

Since the initial 1607 download there have been two new builds automatically installed on my laptop.



The last step in an automatic download is the RESTART. Prior to my rebooting, I checked the Diagnostic Performance and for sure, these had the list of events.



Rebooting by me, causes the Diagnostic Performance errors to disappear.

As suggested earlier I have run the SFC/DISM commands with no errors reported.

Any Ideas?
