    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 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
