I have 1450 event logs in my event viewer.
When I filter it using dates, say from Aug 25 2014 to Aug 31 2014, it gets reduced to 774. When I try to save the log files as XML by selecting the 'Save event file as' and then selecting XML as file type, it saves only the last 305 records.
When I save it as csv, I can see all 774 events saved. When I try to save the complete list of 1450 as XML it saves all logs. The problem only occurs when a date filter is applied.
Any ideas?
Types of Event Logs They are Information, Warning, Error, Success Audit (Security Log) and Failure Audit (Security Log).
The events are stored by default in "C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs" (. evt, . evtx files) . If you can locate them, you can simply open them in the Event Viewer application.
There's a funny workaround:
Save All Events As...
and save to .evtx
Save All Events As...
and save to .csv
/ .xml
...(source) At least, this works for me on Windows 10 x64 version 1709.
The issue itself is clearly a bug, you can vote for them to fix it on the Feedback Hub: for normal users, for insiders.
