  1. Noticed Weird Powershell Logs in Event Viewer


    So I happened to be looking at Event Viewer and I noticed these strange Powershell Logs, some of which have the Task Category "Execute a Remote Command". Does this look suspicious/malicious and what could I do to find out more about what Applications or Tasks are executing these commands? Similar Powershell commands seem to be running almost every day, and sometimes multiple times a day. Here's a screenshot of the Event Viewer:

    How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

    As I find it rather cumbersome to run Event Viewer and filter out the latest Chkdsk log, may I poke a question:

    How to read the latest Chkdsk event viewer log in PowerShell (on Windows 10)?

    My humble requirements for the solution:

    • It has to be done in PowerShell (not ISE, normal PowerShell terminal).
    • It has to be done without Administrator privileges (to save some mouse clicks).

    Important notes:

    • I mean the Chkdsk scheduled at boot for the system drive, usually C:.
    • Apart from the log, it should output the date and time, if possible.

    Event viewer

    I suggest you re-install the video driver. I'll add a few words of explanation about Event viewer in a moment. They won't affect the need to reinstall that driver as your first step. Denis
