Description
FullEventLogView is a simple tool for Windows 10/8/7/Vista that displays in a table the details of all events from the event logs of Windows, including the event description.It allows you to view the events of your local computer, events of a remote computer on your network, and events stored in .evtx files.It also allows you to export the events list to text/csv/tab-delimited/html/xml file from the GUI and from command-line.System Requirements
This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows Vista and up to Windows 10. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.For Windows XP and older systems, you can use the MyEventViewer tool.FullEventLogView vs MyEventViewer
MyEventViewer is a very old tool originally developed for Windows XP/2000/2003.Starting from Windows Vista, Microsoft created a new event log system with completely new programming interfaces. The oldprogramming interface still works even on Windows 10, but it cannot access the new event logs added on Windows Vista and newer systems.MyEventViewer uses the old programming interface, so it cannot display many event logs added on Windows 10/8/7/Vista.FullEventLogView uses the new programming interface, so it displays all events.Versions History

The LogViewer utility can manipulate an .lgv file, which is a compressed log file produced by the Logger tool. To load a file, simply launch Logviewer.exe through Windows Explorer or from a Command Prompt window. It will take a moment to parse the manifest files. Once this is complete, you can invoke File | Open and select the desired .lgv file.
Once LogViewer has opened an .lgv file, it will display a list of all functions in the order they were logged. LogViewer supports powerful commands to filter out functions that you are not interested in. It can also save a filtered version of the log file as a text file.
