Windows 10 Is there anyway I can see what programs were open at what time?

Any sort of log files on windows 10? thank you...

Yes it's called 'Audit process tracking'. It can be set in group policy if you're running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.

secpol.msc > Security Settings > Local Policy > Audit Policy

These events will show up in the Security Log.

I meant just by default, with no changed settings

Maybe the event viewer? It has a good selection of logs.

There isn't a way. You have to have that group policy enabled for the events to show up in the event log.

Rereading the thread title. I am not sure what you are precisely looking for.You dont specify logs. But, if you open the Task Manager and then the "processes" tab, you can right click any of the items listed. Then you can, if you wish, look at the properties. This will show you when the program was last accessed.
