Event log cannot be opened

tutname=Fehler im Ereignisprotokoll|tutautor=[[en:psycore]]|tutversion=1.0|tutquelle=http://olddragon.de/schlagwort/ereignisprotokolldienst

Problem

If you want to check the event log after a system crash to find out exactly what caused the error, Windows may display the following error message:

Das Ereignisprotokoll oder die benutzerdefinierte Ansicht
kann nicht geöffnet werden. Überprüfen Sie, ob der
Ereignisprotokolldienst ausgeführt wird. Die Daten sind unzulässig (13)

Solution

Step 1

We open the service administration and check whether the service has been started. Open in the DOS prompt:

services.msc

Or by clicking on Start and enter in the search box:

dienste

Now search for the Windows Event Log service. This should be started and set to automatic. If this is not the case, we change it accordingly.

Step 2

If the above step is unsuccessful, the log data is probably corrupted. We must therefore delete the log data. :!: ALL events will be lost!

In the event overview, we click on the right on the button Delete logs. All events are now logged again.
