2. Within Event Viewer, expand Windows Logs and click on Application
   
3. Click Action > Save All Events As...
   
   
4. Ensure that the Save as type is set to .evtx and save the log file to a destination of your choosing.
   
5. If you are prompted to display information, select the Display information... radio button and choose (unless otherwise directed by support) and click OK.
   
   
6. This creates a .evtx file and a folder that is called LocaleMetaData in the directory that is specified in step 4. Add this file and directory to a compressed file. The compressed file can then be attached to a support case.
