Each way includes a step-by-step guide. This post also teaches you how to use Event Viewer on Windows If you are searching for a reliable data recovery tool, hard drive partition manager, system backup and restore assistant, MiniTool software covers all of them for you. You can open Event Viewer Windows 10 to check the detailed information of important events occurring on your computer, e.
Windows system, security, setup, application, hardware, services events, etc. If your computer has some problems, Event Viewer is helpful to let you check, troubleshoot and repair Windows 10 errors like application errors and system errors. Please read the article you commented on. The data you are seeing in the event viewer is not really useful unless you are having a problem with your computer.
And then it really needs a trained tech to sort it out. Your best bet is to just leave it alone. The fact that you found errors in new computers in a shop prove Leo was right. The listings in event viewer are so often wrong in what they show, and that those error are no indication of a problem. I doubt if the Azure program would reduce the number of errors in the Event Log. One example of something which might purely hypothetical produce an error entry.
A program tries to run but is blocked by another process. A log entry of that is written. As for why so many a day now when before there were so few error entries: later versions of Windows are that many time more complex than earlier versions. It would prevent a lot of people from being ripped off. Thank You So Much-for giving time and sharing your knowledge technically on computer.
However, my main question is whether frequent warning or error messages such as these consume a significant amount of system resources. Of course, at the very least, they do fill the list with a lot of repetitive garbage that might make it hard to find a real problem should one exist.
Unfortunately, less-than-helpful log entries are also quite common. As for consuming resources, the Event Log is an relatively small text file. Mine is only about MB. I got the scam phone call yesterday. Luckily, before I gave him access I put him on hold and took a look to see if it was a scam. He called back 3 times to get me back on the hook. After reading this I understand the errors, I have a ridiculous number of them just since I signed up for internet in Feb this year.
None recorded before that? He did point out when he had me open the systems file that many of my systems have stopped running and told me that was a result of the errors. Can I fix this with a download or should I have my laptop cleaned and updated by a professional?
Happy to spend the money if necessary, not if I can do it on my own. Read the article you are commenting on. Thank you fothis information …. Or how the computer works. Indeed there are many Errors and Warnings. In a lot of ways, I could care less, except the old look, look very odd and I hate having to log out and log in again.
Should I keep trying to figure this out, or just abandon the Event Viewer. Hello, I had a call today 16 Oct 19 just 30 mins ago using the Event viewer as a way of convincing me he knew what he was talking about. I was then on what appeared to be the Microsoft Tech Support site. It looked like it was a way to take control of my computer so I hung up the phone and deleted the box. What do you think? I never let the scammers get that far. As soon as they tell me they are from [company or service name here], I call them liars, tell them I take care of my stuff, and hang up.
If I start to get more of these calls, I may have to start trying to take up more of their time, just for grins. Comments violating those rules will be removed.
