Hi, In Windows 7, the service is called Windows Event Log. Please verify it. Meanwhile, please verify its related to registry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog] If you cannot find Windows Event Log anywhere, please open an elevated command window, type the following commands. If any error is received, please let me know. 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" Net start eventlog ICACLS C:\Windows\WOW64\winevt\logs /grant *S-1-5-80-880578595-1860270145-482643319-2788375705-1540778122:(F) Best Regards, NikiPlease remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
