    Where does Event viewer store its Custom view definitions


    I cannot find where Event viewer saves its Custom view definitions so I cannot include them in my routine backups.
    - I have looked for files with the name of some of my Custom views but have not found anything.
    - I have looked the Registry for the name of some of my Custom views but have not found anything.
    - I have searched the Registry for Event viewer settings but they contain nothing that seems to a Custom view definition.
    - I have also searched TenForums for relevant info but have found nothing.

    My backups depend on my remembering to export Custom view definitions manually when I create or alter a Custom view.
    - This situation is not exactly the end of the world but I have made mistakes.

    Win 10 Event Viewer -- cannot save filter in Custom Views

    I try to keep up a custom view for the Event Viewer. Since Win 10 was upgraded I can add exclusions such as ...-1234,-567,-89... but these are not saved upon exit from Event Viewer. Many repeated events are reported and most are not important.

    Nor can I find where the filter data is stored: registry, sys32, etc.

    Steps: Launch Event Viewer -- find one or more events in the custom view log -- launch Filter Current Custom View -- Add the events to be filtered out (including a (-)minus sign and comma separation. (note that in the current session, the events are
    removed as is expected) -- close the Filter Current Custom View (note that there is no Apply button) -- close and restart Event Viewer.

    Results: added event filter numbers are removed from the filter list -- any filter brought over from Win 8 upgrade still remain.

    Fixing this would be great. Knowing where the data is stored would also be fine.

    Event Viewer Starts in Custom Views

    For some reason Event Viewer now starts on my laptop showing Custom Views (see below). How do I fix it so Event Viewer starts showing the top level item in the menu Event Viewer (Local)?
