So I am creating a program to debug my screen going black randomly by creating a key bind to then save all the event viewer events from the past few seconds to find a pattern in what events led up to it going black. Through this I want to access the actual human readable message that event viewer shows when clicking on a event. I am using CoPilot to find suitable libraries, classes and functions etc but now I'm stuck.

Line 24 is what is causing the issue, the except statement says that EvtFormatMessage wants to have a third argument that is a flag and that it should be a int, but I can't find its definition so I only have CoPilot to rely on which has given me the exact same solution 3 times in a row (just with more print statements added each time). So how should I access the actual event message through py?
