Shutdown Logger : Stores and displays information about the shutdown events on your computer, including session start and end, session switch, and more
Shutdown Logger can remember all the shutdown events that occurred n your machine, along with their time and date. It displays information regarding shutdown and restart events, screen locking, user changing (logging in or out), standby intervals, and so on.
Records and logs shutdown events of all types
For the application to work properly, you have to configure it to automatically start with Windows. While the main window is immediately visible on the first launch, you will notice that the application is automatically sent to the system tray at the following runs.Shutdown Logger features a simple interface comprising a few buttons and a table that contains the history of the shutdown actions. It also logs the session start and changes in the power mode, console launches and shutdown actions, and remote control sessions. All the data is stored in a text file, automatically created by the application.
Reads the log to display the latest entries
Each time Shutdown Logger is opened, it loads the last 1000 lines from the log file, revealing the latest shutdown events. It might be the case that administrative privileges are required for the application to access the log file upon launch.It's important not to alter the original files inside the downloaded archive, as the executable extracts information from all the other files, including the log.
Check the date and time of any shutdown event
Shutdown Logger can come in handy during troubleshoot sessions when you want to learn why a computer reboots for no apparent reason.Its advantage is that it retrieves the recorded information at each launch, displaying details from the last time the computer was opened. On the downside, you cannot save the log in another format, so you will have to settle for the default plain text file. Also, a little more information would also be helpful. For instance, it would come in handy to know who initiated a recorded shutdown action
