FullEventLogView is a free event log viewer that displays the list of all system events. Whether it is an error event, information event (such as the successful installation of an application), warning event, or any other type of event, everything is logged by Windows for user convenience. This software lets you have a look at all those events and view the details of any event you want.
Apart from just viewing the events and their details, you can also select events and export them as HTML, TXT, XML, or CSV file. By default, during the first launch, it loads all the system events that have been stored so far. However, you can also refresh the list or set Auto Refresh (1-10 seconds) to have updated list.
