Windows 10: Issue #1 - Event Viewer keeps closing in v1903

Desktop Windows 10 Pro, version 1903, OS Build 18362.476 - upgraded from v1809 to v1903 on Nov. 17, 2019.
I've read through numerous web posts about this issue but none of the suggestions worked. None of the KB updates in relation to this issue were installed, so there was nothing to uninstall.

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.

 

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.
