Kernel-Power Event 41 tells you whether it was a hidden Stop error, the power button or power loss. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/guides/where-are-crash-logs-windows-11/https://crashwhy.pages.dev/guides/where-are-crash-logs-windows-11/Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhere Windows 11 keeps crash logs: the System log in Event Viewer (events 41, 6008, 1001, 1074), minidump files in C:\Windows\Minidump and how to read them. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/guides/why-did-my-computer-restart-overnight/https://crashwhy.pages.dev/guides/why-did-my-computer-restart-overnight/Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTFind out why your Windows PC restarted overnight: Windows Update, a blue screen or a power loss. Check Event 1074, 1001, 41 and 6008 in Event Viewer. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-5-1https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-5-1Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTAutomatic updates: once a day CrashWhy checks this website for a new version and shows "Install now". It installs only a file signed by oddlab whose SHA-256 matches, then reopens by itself — your history, settings and license stay. (Coming from 0.5.0 or older, install 0.5.1 once from the Download page.) Stronger license protection: the saved license file is now tied to your Windows account, so a hand-made or copied file is checked with the seller again. The local screen's door now uses a shared, tested guard that also adds browser security headers. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-5-0https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-5-0Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTSettings: keyboard focus moves into the dialog when it opens and returns to the button that opened it when it closes. Plainer words on screen — for example the memory limit is explained as installed memory plus the page file, and "PID" is spelled out as process ID. Changing the language re-reads the past records check in the new language, keeping the same period. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-2https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-2Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTPro can be turned on with the license key from the Lemon Squeezy purchase email (Settings → License). One key works on up to 3 PCs and keeps working offline for 30 days. Uninstalling with "also remove my data" releases the license so the key can be used on another PC. https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-1https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-1Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTFirst launch runs a past records check: it reads crashes and restarts Windows already logged before CrashWhy was installed. CrashWhy opens in its own app window, and the installer's last screen offers "Run now (first check)". https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-0https://crashwhy.pages.dev/updates/#v0-4-0Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTFirst public release for Windows 10 and 11: reads Kernel-Power Event 41, Event 6008, blue screen (BugCheck) events, WHEA hardware errors, restart reasons (Event 1074) and Windows Update installs, and explains each in plain English.
