Hi: I actually know exactly what you're talking about, I've had this problem with the Windows Event Viewer in particular since the Windows Vista days. I've gotten very used to seeing MMC crash and just restarting it, and I've seen this with a variety of screen readers. I've heard nonscreen reader users complain about this kind of thing too, so I'm not sure this is related to any assistive technology and is just MMC being weird. I realize this may not help much, but for what its worth, Microsoft is moving away from using MMC for administration and moving more towards people using the new Windows Admin Center<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/windows-admin-center> to admin either stand alone or groups of Windows servers. If anyone on this list has played around with WAC or uses it day to day I'd be very interested in your feedback. Thanks.
