WinEventLogs

If you're wondering what's happening to your computer on a daily basis, or are just interested in what's going on behind the scenes, looking through your machine's event log can help reveal a bunch of information. To some users, it may all be entirely irrelevant. But to the more experienced, especially those looking to solve an issue, that data can certainly be of use in some way or another.

A simple tool to help with that comes in the form of WinEventLogs, which is an ultimately practical and efficient software application meant to facilitate browsing through a system's event logs.

If you're not familiar with event logs, they're much like your system keeping tabs on every action or event that takes place on it. As stated earlier, more experienced individuals can use this to their advantage when it comes to fixing system crashes or errors.

This tool basically lays it all out for you within a simple, but practical interface, which will enumerate all of the available event logs. To begin, click the Read button, and wait a while for the software to recognize your logs. You'll then be free to look through them and inspect whatever piques your interest.

Event logs can be broken down into multiple categories, and the software does relatively well to divide them. Activities related to applications, security, setups, and other system functions each have their own category, so it'll be easier for you to navigate to what interests you specifically.

It's also possible to delete some or all event logs, and you can also create backups: either for the highlited logs, or all of them.

WinEventLogs will show you your event logs in a simple, functional interface, and allow you to inspect them however you want, and as such, it's a tool that can best be described as practical.
