I'm going to call it a night for now. It has been a long day for me today, and I must yet make some preparations for tomorrow's activities.
C'ya another time, Brink. GN & tnx.
Something is wrong then if the "Event sources" drop down list won't open when you click on it.
You may need to do a repair install.

Shawn,
For the first administrative powershell command in option two step 2:
Code:get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message
This administrative powershell command displayed the chkdsk report within administrative powershell using Windows 1703:
Code:get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message
On Windows 1809 the same command displayed no result.
For the second administrative powershell command in option two step 2:
Code:get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername -match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt
This was the problematic command ending:
Code:out-file Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt
This command ending posts the txt file on the desktop:
Code:out-file "$env:userprofile\Desktop\CHKDSK_SCAN.txt"
This command was tested in Windows 1703 and 1809 and displayed a txt file on the desktop:
Code:get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername –match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file "$env:userprofile\Desktop\CHKDSK_SCAN.txt"

It's possible this is due to a bug in 1803-1809 when screen resolution is set to 125%

Brink,
I have tested this aswell. On each of three Ver 1803 computers
1 I checked that the Event sources dropdown list appeared
2 I set display scaling to 125%
3 I checked the Event sources dropdown list again and it failed to appear
4 I set display scaling back to 100%
5 I checked that the Event sources dropdown list appeared once again
Added later - And I should have mentioned that my single Ver 1709 computer did not have this problem.

Definitely a bug then.
Everyone affected please send feedback to Microsoft via the Feedback Hub to help make them aware of this bug.
See Bug in Event Viewer - Filter Current Log by Event Source
I reported the bug via the Feedback Hub. This obvious bug is yet another example of shoddy software testing.
