When I try this I get:

‘cs’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The EventLog service is a system service — used, not surpisingly, to write to the eventlog — and should not be deleted.

Command

sc delete eventlog

It says Delete Success.

But when I reboot , Crashes my system and then my system gets into recovery/restore mode.

Why is it so ????
