In our previous article, we got familiar with a very useful Reliability History feature in Windows 10. It is hidden in the Action Center and requires a lot of clicks before you open it. Today, we will see how to create a Reliability History shortcut to open it with one click.
If you found Reliability History useful to learn about faults and app crashes on your PC, you may want to create a special shortcut to open it. Here is how.
To Create Reliability History Shortcut in Windows 10, do the following.
Right-click the empty space on your Desktop and select New - Shortcut.
In the shortcut target box, type or copy-paste the following text:
perfmon /rel
Name your shortcut according to your preferences. Reliability History is a good choice for the shortcut name.
You are done!
You can customize the shortcut's icon if you want. A suitable icon can be found in a file "werconcpl.dll".
From now, you can open the Reliability History app with one click using the shortcut you created.
Here is how the reliability history report looks like:
Basically, it looks like a graph with icons which match different events.
The information sign is used for software events like installation or uninstall of an app which finished successfully.
For software installs and uninstalls which failed, the graph shows a warning sign.
For software faults like crashes, an error sign is used.
You can click the appropriate icon to learn more about past events. In my case, the reliability monitor shows several crashes of Edge.
In the lower part of the window, you can learn more about the event. For information marks, you can see details by clicking the link "View technical details". For errors and faults, you can quickly look for available solutions.
Reliability History is a really useful tool when you need to check the stability of your operating system and learn about failures in detail. Using the shortcut you created, you can save your time and quickly inspect your operating system's health.
