About this tag
The live log tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about generating and viewing real-time logs to diagnose Windows performance issues. In one thread, a user describes a program that consumes 100% CPU for five minutes upon launch, locking the computer. They seek a live log to identify conflicting files or services during that period, noting that Event Viewer did not provide the needed detail.

Topics may include log generation tools, event tracing, and performance monitoring in Windows environments.
