System event logs are an important tool for tracking important events, errors, and warnings that occur during the system’s operation.
A system event log stores event messages, error reports, or any unexpected events that occur during execution of a Windows-based application.
Event messages can be generated by hardware or software errors.
These events may include system failures, errors, or warnings.
Event messages can be separated into two types:
1. Error events: These messages describe the error, and the type of error. In cases of errors, they are recorded in system event logs. 2. Warning events: These events report error conditions or events that may indicate a future problem, such as disk errors. Event logs can be an important tool to troubleshoot system problems, so if you’re unable to view event logs, you need to follow the steps below.
