    Which file are you trying to open? The EVTX file may be corrupt, in which case you could set the Windows Event Log (Eventlog) service to Disabled, reboot, then delete the problematic EVTX from C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs, set the Windows Event Log (Eventlog) service to Automatic, reboot.

    issue with the Custom Event view

    Any details on this?

    i dint find this event name on the mentioned location C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs

    A custom view just queries one or more of the existing files.

    what did you mean i didn't get your point here ?

    At this point we still have no clue what steps you tried or what you're trying to accomplish.
