Windows 10: How to close event viewer when not displayed in task manager?

When troubleshooting threads I've scanned multiple event viewers that have not closed.
The first one didn't close.
Four additional event viewers were scanned.
Now there are five open.

In task manager they were not seen looking under letter e.

Process explorer was launched and again they were not seen under letter e.

The Windows version is 1809.

Without a reboot is there another Microsoft application (systernals) that can be launched to view the five open event viewers and close them?

task viewer icon(virtual desktop)

I have the same problem. The task viewer icon was there but is now gone. I have gone through the steps you listed but no viewer. Then I created a new profile and the task viewer is there. Now, how do I get the task viewer back in my taskbar in my
original profile??

 

Event Viewer Closes Unexpectedly

I'm having a problem with the Windows Event Viewer application. A few seconds after I open it and try to start using it to view errors, it suddenly closes for no apparent reason. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a known fix?

By the way, in the Windows Topics dropdown list box, there should be an entry for Windows application problems.

 

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
