The Reliability Monitor is a useful tool available in Windows OS's 7, 8, and 10.
To access it search for 'reliability' via the search box. Then click on 'View Reliability History' and The Reliability Monitor will open after very quickly generating a report.
Clicking on any Critical Events (red X) or Warnings (Yellow ! mark) will show details in a lower pane where you can then click 'Check for a solution' or 'View technical details'
You can view the graph by days or weeks.
If you would like a shortcut to it on the desktop create a shortcut in the usual way (Right click on your desktop, expand 'New' and choose 'Shortcut'')
in the dialog box type:
perfmon /rel
click next, give it a name and click 'Finish'.

Maybe on the first attempt it takes longer (?) I really have no idea why it is not working for you. Have you tried on your other computer ? Possible hiding behind an open window? Are you logged in as Administrator ? Try accessing it via Control Panel/Security & Maintenance/then click the drop down arrow for Maintenance and View Reliability History will be there. Control Panel used to be available from the right click start menu but it has been removed from there so type it in the search box to get to it. You can also right click on the start menu and select Run. Type in perfmon /rel then OK. Make sure you leave a space after 'perfmon' |

It is one of the most helpful tools for sure. Everton responded to you about your difficulties Barney but you never replied to her, it would have been nice if you had, just sayin' . From all you have said it sounds to me as if you do not have the Reliability Monitor Enabled. It has been included in Windows OS's since at least Vista. So it is there for sure. My attachments show what you should be seeing after following any of the instructions Everton gave you. I prefer to use the Start, search and typing reliability method and then clicking on "View reliability history" that you should see after doing the search. You need to follow the instructions on this page to enable it social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3047.how-to-enable-and-disable-reliability-monitor-data-collection.aspxSee my attachments for what you should be seeing.

I have been a bit distracted by Jean coming down with a slight pneumonia, so that concentrated my mind.
I will try your instructions asap.

The monitor tells you there is or has been a problem so you then need to use the program to check for a solution, as noted in the lower portion of the monitor. It is a fairly common problem so don't panic. Try Sfc /scannow and have it fix errors found if possible and have it also scan for bad sectors and recover if possible. Also do a scan with all of your security software as occasionally this can indicate a malware infection. Also once in awhile some 3rd party services can cause trouble with Windows Explorer. Those errors have the time noted on them, if possible try to remember what you were doing at that time. Might narrow down right away to a program you were using. Could be a memory problem too. To check that you can run the Memory Diagnostic tool. Click on the start button, type mem and hit enter. This will open the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool which will perform a memory scan on the next system startup. See, no reason to panic, many solutions available. Most of them very simple and easy to do. I would start with SFC and go forward from there. |

I am so sorry Jean was ill and hope she is recovering now Barney. I would most certainly follow the instructions given by Judy but at the same time not be too concerned unless you feel your machine is not performing well. I often get Explorer errors. I created a new User some time ago because of a few glitches in my original one that I could not track down the reason for. When I use the old User account for any reason the Reliability Monitor shows Explorer errors when I view it in either account. The only thing I notice when working with the old account is that the icons in the notification bar flick on and off occasionally so I presume that is when the 'stopped working' events are logged. When I use the 'new' User account there are none which seems to me to indicate that is is a conflict somewhere in the settings on my old account and not something that would affect both of them such as malware or disk errors. |
