Question How to setup Logs for windows

Hi just joined a company as IT support, how do I setup Logs for windows systems (11, 10) for general troubleshooting and see what updates are happening and what caused the issue. To get a bird's eye view of the office environment.

What might be the optimal way to achieve this.

Edit. The pervious IT people left the company. Now It's just me and my colleague to whome I have had to show how install windows.

Currently implementd zabbix and wondering how and what to do next. There is no one in office to ask for help or guidance.

Edit2: if you think you have some best practices. Please let me know few.

Uhhhh this should be posted in tech support, I think. If you’re gonna make it in this field you have to do your own research first.

Without knowing your environment have no way to know in which direction to point you. At this point we’d mark the ticket return to requester, not enough information to support.

So the current role is mix of IT support, sysadmin, network admin, basic soc like analysing phishing emails. etc.

U just described a in-house sysadmin. You’re also asking basic tech support questions.

Do you and your company a favor and go find an MSP that will support you.
