Don't freak out... when you look, it’s full of errors.

Thanks Leo . It's good to know that my inability to understand event viewer wasn't because I'm a moron.

Takes a bit of googling for error codes, but the event viewer helped me diagnose a bad processor core in my CPU.

Thank you for easing my mind, I assumed something was going wrong on my brand new PC without knowing it 😅 I saw the hard drive light next to the power button was blinking and it lead me here. Lol thanks for letting me know its all as nonsensical as I thought!

Does the event viewer show how many times peripheral devices where connected and disconnected.

Hi, I bought a new MSI computer on November 29th. Recently, some programs crashed, so I checked the event viewer and found some error records before November 29th. There were three or four errors in the event viewer, in different months. Is this normal? My computer is a pre-installed MSI computer.

I wish I watched this video before staying up to 2:30am chasing down every log in my event viewer. It made it look like my PC was on it's deathbed even though I've had no issue whatsoever.

What about "Setup" and "forwarded events" section of the vent viewer. I just got a new win 11 system and this sections aren't showing logs. On my windows 10 machine it shows the logs no problem.

What is a "Faulting Application" ... and ... what is a "Faulting Module"?
@askleonotenboom
@askleonotenboom Жыл бұрын
Depends on context. Need more specifics to say. Generally it's a crashing application or component of an application, but it could be other things as well.
@Kmuggle
@Kmuggle Жыл бұрын
I'm just looking for a basic definition. What is "Faulting Application" trying to tell me and what is "Faulting Module" trying to tell me? If the crash could be either ... how do you identify which one crashed?

@@Kmuggle Like I said, those terms alone aren't enough to determine what's going on. More information is needed. Perhaps its there with the EventViewer entry you're getting this from, perhaps it's not. But there's no simple answer.

IMO because Event Viewer is so cryptic and so poorly explained ... it's a useless tool for pretty much everyone unless they're perhaps an IT pro. I've never had a single instance in which Event Viewer was informative or useful in resolving a problem.

I mean I came here because my system is having problems and I wanted to get a rundown on how to understand the event viewer because I’m noticing patterns in the errors but I can’t quite piece them together…the type of person who would search for this video doesn’t need to hear the information in this video

@@askleonotenboom I believe you. There was a time when I could use Event Viewer to figure out exactly what was causing my system or a particular application to crash. They've improved it to the point where it's unusable. They've even made Event Viewer difficult to find. Why? 'Administrative Tools' is now 'Windows Tools'. Why? Control Panel, arguably one of the most useful interfaces for interacting with the operating system, has been hidden from public view, and replaced with 'Settings,' making access to the innards more, not less, difficult. Why? I think they have intentionally dumbed down the available interfaces because they are trying to emulate the Apple/Mac style, where things 'just work.' The problem with that approach is when things don't just work, you're stuck up the creek without a paddle. Then you have to go to the 'Genius Bar' where a person who just recently was in diapers shuffles off to consult their oracle and returns to tell you they don't know what went wrong, but they can fix it by replacing it, and this is what it will cost you. Pay up or begone!

He really doesn't say anything about it other than it is useless, no it is useful if you know what you are trying to do. For example, you can go to Security log and see who logged on to your computer.
