    Hello! I'm an independent advisor. Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    Let me help you with this problem.

    Windows 10 doesn’t have one single place that shows everything you did each day, but you can still look up your activity in a few different areas, depending on what you’re trying to check.

    Event Viewer – Detailed logs for logins, shutdowns, system events, and application activity

    Reliability Monitor – A visual daily timeline of app installs, crashes, errors, and updates

    Recent Files (File Explorer) – Displays files you recently opened or modified

    Browser History – Shows web activity grouped by date in your browser

    Microsoft Account Privacy Dashboard – Displays synced activity if you use a Microsoft account

    To view your Windows 10 usage history, you can utilize the Diagnostic Data Viewer. This tool allows you to see an overview of the data you've shared with Microsoft, including insights about your system usage. Additionally, you can check the User Activities feature, which tracks the state of tasks in apps and can help you view your recent activities.

    For detailed usage reports of applications, you can access the Usage report in the Partner Center if you are a developer. This report shows how customers are using your app on Windows 10, including metrics like active devices and engagement minutes.

    However, if you are looking for a personal daily activity log, Windows does not provide a built-in feature for tracking daily usage history directly. You may need to rely on third-party applications or system logs for more granular tracking of your daily activities on your computer.
