Windows 10: looking for a log viewer/analyzer to read the Windows firewall log

I've just started to log my firewall connections. I'm looking for a log viewer/analyzer to read the log. What is everybody's favorite. A big plus for free or cheap software, open source or proprietary, don't matter to me. But I'm willing to pay if it can provide really good insight into my traffic. How much I'm willing to pay depends on the capabilities of the software, but no more than $99.99.

Thank you.

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check whether the automatic restart option is disabled or not as below.

• Press “Windows+X” and go to “Control Panel”.
• Click on “System and Security” and click on “System”.
• On the left hand side click on “Advanced system settings”.
• Click on “Advanced” tab, then under “Startup and Recovery” click on “Settings”.
• Under “System Failure” uncheck the option “Automatically Restart”.
• Then click on “ok” and check whether the issue persist or not.

Also, I suggest you to check whether any task has been schedule for automatic restart as below.

• In the search box type as “Task Scheduler”.
• Under “Task Scheduler summary” you can find any task has been created or not.
• If any task has been created then I suggest you to remove it and check if the issue persist or not.

To determine what is causing the issue, I suggest you to check the event logs in the event viewer logs to know more about the issue.

Try the following steps to access Event Viewer:

• Press 'Windows key + R' simultaneously on your keyboard to bring the run dialog box.
• Type ‘eventvwr’ (without quotes) and press ‘OK’.
• Expand ‘Windows Logs’ on the left pane and look for the error logs under Application and System.
• Copy the information and post it here so that we can analyze it.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
