Windows 10: how to expand or collapse all groups in event viewer

I've been needing to check the event viewer lately, and when I show in groups, there's a small arrow that lets one collapse each group, and then you see a summary of how many events are in each group.

But to collapse all of them I have only found the tedious way by doing each individually, which involves a lot of scrolling and clicking. There must be a collapse all command, isn't there?

:)

 

File explorer crashes/restarts with right click

Can you check the Event Viewer for the error:

Start > type event viewer then click on "Event Viewer Desktop app" > expand "Custom Views" > "Administrative Events"

Look through the "Administrative Events" for Application Errors involving explorer.exe

Double-click on each event for more details.

 

Explorer crashing when right clicking my flash drive.

Try here:

Start > type Event Viewer then click on "Event Viewer Desktop app" > expand "Custom Views" > "Administrative Events"

Look through the "Administrative Events" for Application Errors involving explorer.exe.

Double-click on each event for more details.

 

Hi, you might like to try an alternative- e.g. Fulleventlogview by Nirsofer (free).

You can search the whole log, organise it by any of the columns.

The list is flat, fully expanded.

 

Ahhh, Nirsoft, used them before. Nice program fulleventlogview. - Thanks!
