Hi OZ,
Thanks for your post. Based on my experience, we have encountered similar problems that was fixed by locating the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
After deleting the "Powershell" folder and "Internet Explorer" folder and the event log service then started.
Also, for general troubleshooting, you can try loading up process monitor while trying to start Event View and look for access denies or file not found errors
Best Regards,
Ian Xue
