​Check System Logs for Driver Errors

To check the system logs for errors and warnings in Windows, use one of the following methods:

• ​​Event Viewer
• ​​PowerShell commands

To check the system logs using Event Viewer:

1. ​Open Event Viewer using the search function of the Windows start menu.
2. ​Open the application.
3. ​Navigate to Windows Logs.
4. ​Navigate to System.
5. ​Sort on the first column, titled Level, to list the Error and Warning messages at the top of the system event log window.
6. ​Look for any Error or Warning entries for the driver (i40ea/i40eb/icea).
7. ​Look for other Errors/Warnings that may be relevant to your application or configuration, such as:
   • ​Hyper-V entries if you are using a virtualized environment
   • DNS Client Events for multi-host network topologies

To check the system logs using PowerShell commands:

1. ​List all events: Get-WinEvent -LogName System
2. ​List only warnings (ErrorLevel 2) and errors (ErrorLevel 3): Get-WinEvent -LogName System -ErrorLevel 2,3
3. Retrieve the latest 50 events from the Application, System, and Security logs: Get-WinEvent -LogName "Application", "System", "Security" -MaxEvents 50 | Format-Table -AutoSize
