Machine works fine, no troubles at all, but Event Viewer windows are popping up endlessly. My feeling is that it happens every time when new event coming to the log. Is there any trigger in WIN10 which allow to tune behavior of the Event Viewer in response to system events? After more then two weeks going in checks round and round we have no results so far, more and more people are joining discussion with the same problem.
Thank you for the information on event viewer. I received a phone call today from a scammer who got me to open event viewer which showed about 17, errors.
The spammer descibed himself as head of security at my ISP and offered to fix the errors. I asked him for his name and he side-stepped the question. I had to hang up on him 3 times before I got rid of him. I have never opened event viewer before and am suprised that I did not see any prior warnings of this particular scam. Now it seems that I have at least 30 red error codes per day, all I have to do is start the computer and wait 5 minutes.
The yellow I have always had. I went to the store and looked at 14 computers, Brand New, they had errors already and they have not even been sold yet.

I doubt if the Azure program would reduce the number of errors in the Event Log. One example of something which might purely hypothetical produce an error entry. A program tries to run but is blocked by another process. A log entry of that is written.
As for why so many a day now when before there were so few error entries: later versions of Windows are that many time more complex than earlier versions. It would prevent a lot of people from being ripped off. Thank You So Much-for giving time and sharing your knowledge technically on computer. However, my main question is whether frequent warning or error messages such as these consume a significant amount of system resources.
Of course, at the very least, they do fill the list with a lot of repetitive garbage that might make it hard to find a real problem should one exist. As for consuming resources, the Event Log is an relatively small text file. Mine is only about MB. I got the scam phone call yesterday.
Luckily, before I gave him access I put him on hold and took a look to see if it was a scam. If an application such as Microsoft Word crashes, then the Windows event log will create a log entry about the issue, the application name and why it crashed. The Windows Event Viewer is an administrative tool found in all versions of Windows. It allows you to view events, errors, and additional important information about what's happening under the hood in your operating system.
For instance, the Administrative Events view in recent versions of Windows displays all of the Error, Warning, and Critical events whether they originated from the Application log or the System log.
Left click on System and Security. After opening Event Viewer you will have there a list of events that you can access.

Then the script extracts those arguments and redirects over to Google, passing the arguments as search terms instead. You can host the same thing over on your own server if you want, or you can use the one sitting on our server. Up to you. There are a ton of web sites out there that automatically generate pages for every single event ID, and then populate them with nonsense.
That would be just fine, except for many of these events, there are not a lot of other good results. Those sites will then offer to solve the problem if you just download some piece of software for your free analysis.
For best results, you would want to filter by just the specific things you want to see — probably Critical, Error, and Warning, and then pick the specific event logs you want this view to look through. Perhaps even easier, of course, is to just use the built-in Administrative Events view, which displays the important messages from each of the main logs.
