[solved] Cannot run Event Log on Windows 10

[Bjørgersson]

I am using Windows 10 Pro x64 1803, and every time I try to launch the Event Log, I get the following error message: The service (wecsvc) is not found on the following computer: ".".

I have tried the following so far, none of which seem to have resolved my problem:
- running sfc /scannow
- running winmgmt /verifyrepository
- running DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- scanning the whole system with ESET Internet Security
- start-up repair

Any ideas what could be causing this annoyance? :thonking:

Hi, its a win 7 solution but you can give a try:

Please check for the existence of this key. If not found, create a *.reg file from another machine and import.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog


or method 2 with win7 again

Please try to start the service manually and let me know the error message you receive.


1. Click Start, type Services.msc in Start Search bar, and then press Enter.

2. In the right pane, double-click Windows Event Log.

3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, click Apply, click Start, and then click OK.

If you cannot find Windows Event Log anywhere, please open an elevated command window, type the following command to create the service.


sc create eventlog binpath= "C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted" type= share start= auto error= normal group= "Event Log" tag= no obj= "NT AUTHORITY\LocalService" DisplayName= "Windows Event Log"


Hope these could be helpful.
