Windows is packed full of system tools, and many of them are in the Administrative Tools folder. The tools here are more powerful and complex, so they’re hidden where most Windows users won’t stumble across them.
Some of these tools are only available on Professional or Enterprise versions of Windows, not the “core” or Home versions of Windows 8.1, 8, and 7. The list of tools here is from a Windows 8.1 Professional system.

thank you


Do you have a better understanding of Administrive Tools in Windows?

yes but?

Event Viewer

"The Event Viewer displays the Windows event log. Applications, services, and Windows
itself write messages to the event log. Viewing the log can sometimes help you identify
a problem and look up a specific error message, but most of the messages here aren’t important."

i'm not so sure about this

"The Windows tech support phone call scam relies on the Event Viewer to scare users. Don’t fall
for the tricks — it’s normal to see error messages in here."

ok i can see that but i use the Event Viewer and fix things with the info but i also understand
that some errors here are normal sometimes but i fixed my errors here and i do not have meany
no more so it's only sometimes normal to see errors here lol
