Server manager

Question

Hello,

I get the following message in server manager on a windows 2016 server:

Warning server : Configuration refresh message: The system cannot access one or more event logs because of insufficient access rights, file corruption, or other reasons. For more information, see the Operational channel in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider error log on the target server.

with the following warnings in the ServerManager-ManagementProvider error log:

• Generic failure querying the localized name for channel: HwSysEvt [hResult = Function failed during execution., hLastResult = The system cannot find message text for message number 0xHwSysEvt in the message file for Function failed during execution..].
• Failure opening metadata of the owning provider for channel: Microsoft-Windows-SPB-HIDI2C/Analytic [hResult = Function failed during execution., hLastResult = The system cannot find the file specified.].
• Failure opening metadata of the owning provider for channel: Microsoft-Windows-WCN-Config-Registrar/Diagnostic [hResult = Function failed during execution., hLastResult = The system cannot find the file specified.].
  -Failed to query the results of bpa xpath: Microsoft/Windows/FileServices:$reports$\$latestreport$\Discovery.xml:$creationtime$. error: The system cannot find the file specified., last error: The system cannot find the path specified..
• Failed to query the results of bpa xpath: Microsoft/Windows/FileServices:$reports$*\Result.xml:/ResultDatabase/Result. error: A device attached to the system is not functioning., last error: The system cannot find the path specified..

What could be the cause and possible solution?
