Hey all,

Just wanted to check with you guys. Has anyone gotten an error message for event viewer windows-USB video/Analytic?

Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer.

Error 4201: The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider.

I haven't changed permissions in WMI to see if it fixes the issue but I wanted to check if others got this issue also.

Thanks

Ok friends,

Here is the fix I tested.

If you want to apply this fix:
1) Save a copy of your registry
2) Copy this reg command in a text file and save as Fix for WMI Viewer USB Video Analytic.reg

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\PnpResources\Registry\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-USB-Video/Analytic]

Reboot and try the viewer again, should work (well until next update and MS will mess it up again :rolleyes: :wink:

Hi,
thank you so much for helping me solve the problem.
The solution you proposed worked wonders.
I would just add that for the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\ PnpResources\ Registry\HKLM \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-USB-Video/Analytic" you must change the permissions, otherwise the change will not you are allowed.
Thanks again.

Does not work. Cannot add that registry to the key.
To which user did you change Ownership of the parent Registry Key?
To which user / user group did you give change Permission for the parent Registry Key?

first i tried to set it all to administrator. Then I used the run as software to run as trusted installer. The keys installed...but they did nothing. The WMI error in the log persists, and unable to delete the logs.

If you set it to Administrator then you set it to the normally-disabled Built-in Admin account.
A more common & effective step would be to set it to Administrators [plural] because that is a User group to which all your Admin accounts belong.

If you change the ownership & permissions then you do not need to use that utility to run as TrustedInstaller.

I cannot advise you about your WMI error, I know nothing about that topic.
I only posted to help you with the Ownership & Permissions changes.


best of luck,
Denis

Don't bother adding the key. It gets overridden eventually. Besides, that error only appears if the journal is empty and not every time. I don't bother because it has no impact on the O/S

That's fine but in the event viewer it pops up with this dialog when viewing the administrative summary custom log at the top. I suppose ignoring it is the only way but it didn't pop up a few days ago so something happened which can't be fixed.
