Windows 10 Event viewer : error when creating custom view

[Adelscott92]

Hi,


I can't create a custom view.


When I click on "Custom View" under "Event Viewer (Local)" I get an error "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it"

​

The detailed error appears after :

​

Content is :

FX:{b05566ad-fe9c-4363-be05-7a4cbb7cb510}

The process cannot access the file 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Event Viewer\Views\View_0.xml' because it is being used by another process.​

If I delete the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Event Viewer\Views\View_0.xml" and open Event Viewer, then I can open Custom Views

​

But as soon as I save a new created custom view I get the same error.


Any idea ?
