Hello,

Could you check if your folder "C:\Windows\System32\Winevt\Logs" have "read only" permission ? If yes, uncheck the box option et try to restart DNS console.

<div>
If it don't work, try to change permissions in the %SystemRoot%\System32\wine<wbr />vt folder. Right-click the folder (winevt) go to &quot;Properties&quot;. Un-check the &quot;ReadOnly&quot; checkbox. Click &quot;Apply&quot; or &quot;OK&quot;.
</div>


If it don't work, try to change permissions in the %SystemRoot%\System32\winevt folder. Right-click the folder (winevt) go to "Properties". Un-check the "ReadOnly" checkbox. Click "Apply" or "OK".

<div>
Hi, in both cases, I removed &quot;read only&quot; permission, but after checking, it restored itself automatically.<br />
I am still unable to start DNS service and / or Event logger<br />
<br />
Thank you
