Get-Eventlog from DELL Unity stop working "The description for event ID %i from source %s cannot be found"

I am trying to get event logs from DELL unity for the last minutes but after returning a few events it start failing with message "The description for event ID %i from source %s cannot be found" after this error any connection to event viewer fails and i have to restart Worstation service in my machine to be able to open event viewer again.

Any idea why is this happening and how to fix?

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

Which version of the OE are you on? Can you access logs from other methods? Can you try a different PC? Are there a lot of events in the logs?

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

it is the last version of unity firmware. 

what other method i can access logs?

there are between 100K-200K events in the logs, but reducing the log size and storing less event produces the same problem.
