Microsoft says that apps may encounter issues accessing event logs on remote Windows 10 devices unless KB5003637 or later updates are installed on both systems.
"Event logs might not be accessible from remote devices unless both devices have updates released June 8, 2021 or later," Microsoft states on the Windows 10 health dashboard.
This Windows 10 known issue impacts only applications using specific legacy Event Logging APIs.
Event Viewer and other apps using current non-legacy APIs to access Windows event logs remotely are not affected.

"This vulnerability requires that a user with an affected version of Windows access a malicious server. An attacker would have to host a specially crafted server share or website," Redmond explains in the security advisory.
