Eventvwr/MMC hangs and is barely usable

Dave Patrick They are not very large as we reduced the size in order to troubleshoot. I've attempted the steps you've recommended but still an issue unfortunately, even with only 100 events under Application logs as an example.
It looks like once the logs load, scrolling down multiple times will eventually cause it to hang again.
Ok, if deleting all the EVTX does not help then the safest simplest thing to do is stand up a new one for replacement.
I'd use dcdiag / repadmin tools to verify health `correcting all errors found` before starting `any` operations. Then stand up the new one, patch it fully, license it, join existing domain, add active directory domain services, promote it also making it a GC (recommended), transfer FSMO roles over (optional), transfer pdc emulator role (optional), use dcdiag / repadmin tools to again verify health, when all is good you can decommission / demote old one.
