📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses an issue where starting certain programs, like FreeSSHd, generates specific event logs in the Windows Event Viewer, while other programs, such as Chrome or Notepad, do not produce any logs. The original poster inquires if Event Viewer can show logs for all program startups. A reply suggests that enabling "Audit Process Creation" can log such events, but this feature is only available on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise editions. Overall, the conversation centers on monitoring program startup events via Windows Event Viewer, with the conclusion that additional configuration or edition constraints apply.

eg, when i started the program, freesshd, an event appeared in the event viewer application log.
it gave an error, but it also said "service started", and it had a date/time stamp.

but, when i started the freesshd telenet server, or the ssh server, no events appeared in the event viewer application log.
and when i stopped the freesshd telenet server, or the ssh server, or the whole freesshd program, no events appeared in the event viewer application log.

also, if i start something like the google chrome browser, or windows notepad, no events appeared in the event viewer application log.

can the event viewer do this, eg show when any program starts?

You can enable "Audit Process Creation" but only on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise
