Windows 10: New Event Details in "Windows Defender > Operational" Log Event Viewer

I've discovered that starting from the 29th of November, there is a new kind of event in Event Viewer > Applications and Services > Windows Defender > OperationalEvent 5007 is nothing new, that's like the most standard event you'll find in there, but the contents of some of these events on startup is new. it started on the 29th and they've never happened before that the log goes as far down as April, I've tested it several times with Findthis is the first event and this one only happened on the 29th:"Old value: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsDefender\Diagnostics\InitializingComponen

Location of Windows Defender events saved in Event Viewer

In this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...virus/troubleshoot-windows-defender-antivirus.
According to the the mentioned link the generated events should be displayed at the following location in the Event Viewer:- Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Windows Defender Antivirus/Operational.

But on performing actions, Events are getting stored at this location in the event viewer:- Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Windows Defender/Operational.

How can I get Microsoft Windows Defender Antivirus folder at this location:- Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows in the event viewer. So that events start getting stored at this location:- Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Windows
Defender Antivirus/Operational.

Event Viewer stopped showing new events

I go to Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Diagnostics-Performance > Operational.

But there are no events listed for the past several weeks even though I’ve rebooted many times during that period.

I clicked the Refresh button in the right column and this added one new event - the latest event 100. But no Event Viewer showing the system was shut down. I did several cold reboots so there should be many new entries but that’s not the case.

In the right column I looked at Operational > Properties. “Overwrite events as needed" is checked.

Any idea why new events are not showing up?

Thanks
