The customer reports their PC freezes up everyday around the same time. Which of the following utilities would be BEST to check for any error codes?

Windows Updates manages patch installation and history but does not display system error codes or diagnostic logs related to application or hardware failures.

Task Scheduler shows scheduled tasks and their run history but does not record hardware or software error codes generated during a freeze.

Windows Event Viewer aggregates logs from the System, Application, and Security channels and records events with timestamps, event IDs, and error codes. A technician can filter by time to identify error events that correlate with the daily freeze, pinpointing the specific driver, service, or application responsible.

Performance Monitor tracks real-time and historical performance counters (CPU, memory, disk) but does not surface error codes or event log entries associated with a system freeze.
