Windows 10: Just had the BSOD for 10 minutes - where do I find the Events log (?) that will show...

I was in Facebook earlier when I had the BSOD - nothing I did got my laptop working. I tried again 10 minutes later and was relieved to see the MS account log-on screen, which I filled in as normal. I was then surprised when I logged in to find everything that had been open was still open, including outlook.com, an open Notepad and an MS Comm thread.


So, an easy 5-star answer for someone - how do I find the Events log (I think that's the name) please?

:)

 

BSOD during boot every other time

The Event Logs did not show any evidence of BSODs so they may not even be recorded in the Event Viewer.

At this point I might suggest to try a clean boot, restart the computer a few times, and see if the same BSODs occur:
