You are troubleshooting a service failing to start on a Windows 10 laptop. You have already confirmed the service is configured to start using msconfig. You suspect the application is crashing after being started, where could you look to find a log of errors or crashes?
Event Viewer ( or eventvwr.msc, eventvwr.exe) is a great place to start when troubleshooting application failures. Applications and components of the Windows itself will log events to Event Viewer so they can be reviewed. This may includes information about the application running like configuration details, warning messages and error messages.
