After Installing Kb5003637 Apps Won T Be Able To Access Event Logs

Apparently, after installing this particular update, apps that are accessing event logs on remote devices might be unable to connect.

KB5003637 causes apps to not work properly

The root of this annoying issue originates from apps that make use of legacy Event Logging APIs. Microsoft states that the behavior is expected and that you might receive an error when attempting to connect, such as:

error 5: access is denied error 1764: The requested operation is not supported. System.InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetEventLogCommand Windows has not provided an error code.

How do I fix this issue?

Due to security hardening changes relating to Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for CVE-2021-31958, the tech giant expected this to happen, to a certain degree. Thankfully there is a simple way to put all this behind us. In order to properly deal with this situation, you have to ensure that both the local and remote devices have KB5003637 installed. Pretty simple, right? Have you been experiencing such issues after installing this cumulative update on your PC? Let us know in the comments section below.
