I am testing an ASP.NET application on Windows Server 2019.

The application is loading well, but when I try to log out, the error below prompts.

Exception Details: System Security Security Exception: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security: State

I read somewhere, that we can edit permission rights in the REGEDIT folder as below, but I'm not able to save the changes. A pop up message from Window Security "Unable to save permission changes on state. Access is denied."

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\State

Does anyone have an insight as to what could be done here?

Thanks!

    Make sure the application pool that the website is using in IIS is Local system or an administrator account.

    It is in the application pools -> advance settings -> Process Model -> Identity.
