What it does

What Windows Activity Log Records

Windows Activity Log is a consolidated timeline of desktop activity on a supervised Windows PC or laptop — aggregating websites visited (with domains and duration), applications opened and used, active session windows, and system events into a searchable dashboard view.

Each log entry is timestamped and categorised — making it straightforward to find specific activity, filter by type, or review a specific time window. The log is updated on each device sync.

Unlike individual feature views (browser history, app used time), the activity log provides a single chronological view of everything that happened on the Windows device — ideal for reviewing a specific session or investigating an event.

⚠️
Disclosure required. Activity logging must be disclosed to Windows device users where required by law. For use on devices you own and are permitted to monitor.

Consolidated Timeline

All monitored activity — websites, apps, sessions, system events — in a single chronological log.

Timestamped Entries

Every log entry carries an exact timestamp — enabling precise reconstruction of activity during any session.

Searchable & Filterable

Filter by activity type, application, date, or keyword — find specific events quickly without scrolling.

Session Coverage

Activity log covers full user sessions — from login to logout — with active time, idle time, and event sequence.

For parents & families

How Parents Use Windows Activity Log

Parents use the Windows Activity Log to review a complete record of their child's session on a supervised home PC — understanding what was visited, opened, and done without asking for a recap.

After-Session Review

After a child's unsupervised Windows session, the activity log provides a full timeline of the session — websites visited with durations, apps opened, and any notable system events.

Identifying Concerning Patterns

A searchable log makes it easy to identify recurring activity — a specific website visited repeatedly, a game opened during homework hours, or a late-night active session.

How Businesses Use Windows Activity Log
