System Requirements

Notice: On Windows 10/8/7/Vista, it’s recommended to use the new FullEventLogView utility, which shows all new event logs added starting from Windows Vista.
Also, on latest releases of Windows 10, the old APIs that this tool uses stopped working properly and MyEventViewer may crash or omit some of the events.

• Version 1.95:
  • Added option to display only the events with specific users (In ‘Advanced Filter’ window)

This means that you can save a list with large amount of event log lines into your disk without any memory problem, as long as you have enough disk space to store the saved file. The drawback of this mode: You cannot sort the log lines according to the column you choose with /sort command-line option.

  • Added ‘Remote Event Description Mode’ under the Options menu, which allows you to control how the event description dll files are loaded when you connect a remote computer. In previous versions, the dll files were loaded from the local computer. Now you can choose whether to load them from local computer, remote computer or both. Be aware that loading dll files from the remote computer is a much slower process, and requires admin shares access (C$, D$, ADMIN$ and so on)
• Version 1.45:
  • Added option to load the events on selected date/time range. (In ‘Advanced Filter’ window).
  • Added /advanced command-line option, for starting MyEventViewer with the ‘Advanced Filter’ window before loading the events.

• Version 1.40:

  • Added ‘Auto Refresh’ under the Options menu (1, 3, 5, 10 seconds, or disabled) — When this option is turned on, newly created events are displayed automatically without using the refresh option. When using this option, it’s recommended to sort the events list by the event time, so the new events will appear in the top or in the bottom of the events list.
• Version 1.37:
  • Fixed issue: Removed the wrong encoding from the xml string, which caused problems to some xml viewers, as well as removed wrong
    tag from the xml.

5 best Windows 10 event log viewers

Event log viewers are programs that track important events on your computer. Every app or program that runs on your computer leaves a trace in the event log, and before apps stop or crash, they post a notification. Every single event or change made on your computer is registered in the event log.

In other words, an event viewer is a program that scans long text log files, groups them and adds a simpler interface on huge amounts technical data. In case your computer doesn’t work properly, event viewers are essential because they offer you important information on the source of the problem.

Windows 10 comes with its own built-in event log viewer that offers users an in-depth image about the processes taking place on their computers. If you want to analyze particular event information, you can also use third-party event viewers.
