Afternoon all. Think this should be a quick issue to resolve. Was a bit tired the other night whilst installing some software (on Win 7), had a few windows open at the same time and managed to fall half asleep whilst clicking the OK button on a couple of the install screens (don't ask. I have also been known to fall asleep mid-conversation whilst standing up, so this isn't really a stretch). Since I couldn't then remember what I had open or what I clicked on, I'm hoping there's a log somewhere that will tell me what I did, presumably based on timestamp. I looked in the system logs, but couldn't see anything obvious. If anyone has an idea where I can look for this info, advice would be much appreciated! Once I've sorted this I think I'll go for a nap...
Event viewer might be your best bet. I know W10 has reliability history which will show you stuff like this [see attached image], but iirc that wasn't added until Windows 8.x. EDIT: Event viewer, IDs 1033/11707 for installs, 1034/11724 for uninstalls
There is always the old fashioned (and painful) way of sorting the program files, program files (x86) and appdata directories by time/date to see what changed in the period you were installing.
