Windows 10: Is There a Program To Look At Event Log & Recommend Suggestions Errors

So my event log is showing way too many errrors and warnings. I do not begin to understand what any are. I am not really looking forward to reformatting & reinstalling. Is there any program/software that would scan and organize them possibly offering fixes/help?

:)

 

Nokia Photos error : exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

Could you take a look at your event log (control panel -> administrative tools -> event viewer -> windows logs -> application) and copy & paste here the error entries that have "Nokia Photos" as the source?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and your efforts towards resolving it. We will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to send the event logs from Even Viewer to assist you better.

Please follow the steps:

• Type Event viewer in the Search Bar.
• Open Event Viewer.
• If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Click an event log in the left pane.
• Double-click an event to view the details of the event.

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps. If you aren't logged on as an administrator, you can change only settings that apply to your user account, and some event logs might not be accessible.

Event logs are special files that record significant events on your computer, such as when a user logs on to the computer or when a program encounters an error. Whenever these types of events occur, Windows records the event in an event log that you
can read by using Event Viewer. Advanced users might find the details in event logs helpful when troubleshooting problems with Windows and other programs.

Event Viewer tracks information in several different logs. Windows Logs include:

• 
  Application (program) events: Events are classified as error, warning, or information, depending on the severity of the event. An error is a significant problem, such as loss of data. A warning is an event that isn't necessarily
  significant, but might indicate a possible future problem. An information event describes the successful operation of a program, driver, or service.
  
• 
  Security-related events: These events are called audits and are described as successful or failed depending on the event, such as whether a user trying to log on to Windows was successful.
  
• 
  Setup events: Computers that are configured as domain controllers will have additional logs displayed here.
  
• 
  System events: System events are logged by Windows and Windows system services, and are classified as error, warning, or information.
  

• Forwarded events: These events are forwarded to this log by other computers.
• Applications and Services Logs vary:They include separate logs about the programs that run on your computer, as well as more detailed logs that pertain to specific Windows services.

Please reply to us with the required information. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Hi, there are some (expensive to extremely expensive) commercial ones. This is definitely a weak area in terms of Windows support.

E.g.
My favorite Windows Event log tools 4sysops

Solar Winds has a free version, but expect it to be (very) limited.
https://www.ittsystems.com/best-even...nalysis-tools/

This free tool allows you to view, sort, search and filter your event log as a single flat table:
FullEventLogView - Event Log Viewer for Windows 10/8/7/Vista

This one is more flexible




However neither interpret the log. You can use the filter to focus on significant reports more easily.
