About this tag
Custom views in Windows Event Viewer allow you to filter and save specific event criteria for faster troubleshooting. On Windows 10 and 11, you can create custom views to diagnose app crashes, startup issues, and system errors by selecting event levels, sources, and IDs. Some users report that built-in custom views like Administrative Events become read-only after clearing event logs, preventing edits to existing filters.
