@ChrisWalton: There are detailed logs for Windows Update, device insertion/removal, driver installation and so on. See C:\Windows\*.log, C:\Windows\Logs, C:\Windows\inf\*.log and also Performance Monitor > Data Collector Sets > (Startup) Event Trace Sessions. Also, @JRobert, +1 for explaining how to get an idea in more detail...

I have been keeping logs but not sufficiently detailed; and have not included system updates from Microsoft, and other automated updates. | |
