I see others have this problem, and a suggested solution I found posted is
as follows...

"I struggled with this same issue for more than a few weeks. I finally
managed to get my Event Services started again. I changed the owner on the
%windir%\System32\Logfiles folder [and all children] to the Administrators
group. Like magic, everything returned to normal."

Well I tried with "Run as administrator" also. Window had Administrator
Commant title.
Same thing with little improvement:

"C:\Windows\system32net start Eventlog
The Windows Event Log service is starting.
The Windows Event Log service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied."

Now how can I know what is system error?
There is no event log !
