The Reliability Monitor is a highly useful tool available since Windows Vista, although many users are unaware of its existence. To access it, simply navigate to the ‘Control Panel’, then ‘System and Security’, followed by Security and Maintenance’, and finally, Maintenance, where you’ll find “View reliability history.” The blue line displayed illustrates your system’s stability level.
In instances where your system encounters errors, the Reliability Monitor becomes a valuable resource for investigation. For example, if you face recurring issues like a sudden system shutdown with a blue screen after running for some time, and you’re puzzled about the cause, check the Reliability Monitor. The next time you power on your system, head straight to the Reliability Monitor, where errors will be highlighted, allowing you to find solutions for a more stable computing experience.
