Windows 10: 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)?

File explorer crashes/restarts with right click

Can you check the Event Viewer for the error:

Start > type event viewer then click on "Event Viewer Desktop app" > expand "Custom Views" > "Administrative Events"

Look through the "Administrative Events" for Application Errors involving explorer.exe

Double-click on each event for more details.

 

Explorer crashing when right clicking my flash drive.

Try here:

Start > type Event Viewer then click on "Event Viewer Desktop app" > expand "Custom Views" > "Administrative Events"

Look through the "Administrative Events" for Application Errors involving explorer.exe.

Double-click on each event for more details.

 

After a clean install mine starts at the top in Event Viewer Local.

I tend to use event viewer - custom views - administrative events because thats there most of the pertinent information is. But if I close it it goes back to the top level.

 

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.

I removed that setting in CCleaner and Event Viewer now opens at the top level as it should by default. Thanks for that tip!
