What type of log entry is generated when a Windows system is rebooted?

When a Windows system is rebooted, an informational log entry is generated. This type of log entry is used to record significant events or changes within the operating system that do not necessarily indicate a problem or an issue requiring attention.

The reboot process, while routine, is considered an important event for system tracking and monitoring purposes. Informational logs help system administrators and security professionals maintain awareness of the system's operational status. They can also be useful for auditing activities, providing a historical record of when the system was restarted and supporting investigations into system performance or anomalies.

Different types of log entries serve specific purposes: error logs indicate serious problems that may require immediate attention, warning logs highlight potential issues that may need monitoring but are not immediately critical, and failure audit entries record instances where designated operations or security checks have failed. These serve distinct functions different from the routine nature of an informational log generated by a reboot.
