Windows 10: Why is it that when I click on a "Event Log Online Help" link, it never takes me to the...

It links to:


https://support.microsoft.com/?ProdName=Microsoft%c2%ae+Windows%c2%ae+Operating+System&ProdVer=10.0.19041.444&EvtID=CODEEvtSrc=NAME&LCID=CODE

Which just displays:


https://support.microsoft.com/


Any ideas?

How is Event Online Help supposed to work?

There are many errors in the Event Viewer. When I click "Event Log Online Help" a window opens asking if it is OK to send information across the internet. When I click Yes, a Technet page shows a series of issues that are not related to the event log issue.


Is it really supposed to work this way?? If so, how does it help me? If not, how can it be fixed? Is there not a listing somewhere of the Event IDs and suggested resolutions?

Thank you.
