Windows 10: Event Viewer takes Around 10 Minutes to popupate

Hey Guys - Running on Windows 10 1909 (although this issue has existed for a long time previous) When I launch Eventviewer, It takes around 10 minutes to populate events. This is the case even if the events have been cleared, so the number of events does not appear to be the issue.


using Procmon, I discovered that it is parsing through all registry entries under

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers"



I tried deleting that entire key (I'm working on Horizon Instant clones, so this is easily reversible) - And Event viewer opens immediately with no noticeable items missing.


I am unsure what those registry keys are specifically, if they're necessary, or if there may be another angle to troubleshoot this from. Any Ideas would be helpful.


Thanks!

mmc could not create the snap-in in event viewer (Windows 10)

I tried the KB but didn't work.

I found this and it fixed my event viewer mmc error

1. Open File Explorer on the device.
2. Navigate to the following path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Event Viewer\Views
3. Backup the content of the folder. The next step deletes the custom views and you may want the backup to restore the views when Microsoft fixes the issues.
4. Delete all View_X.xml files in the folder (it starts with View_0.xml and increments the number by 1 for each file).
5. Start the Event Viewer after deleting the files.

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?
