Question

Windows 8 logon log off history

Apr 14, 2014 7:44PM PDT

Hi,

I have multiple accounts on my laptop, all of which have admin rights.
I wish to know the history of logins into my account. I created a custom view in the even viewer, but it seems( from the result) that my account was never logged in !!
How is it possible when I am actually viewing the event viewer from my account?
Is it because I leave my account always signed in, and just lock it instead of logging off?
Thanks

That might be a very good explanation. Easy to try, isn't it?

If this is why I am not getting the history, then what is the workaround? I don't want to log off every time.

Remember it's a pretty deep area.
