Show really all events from the Windows event log

Solution 1:

Nirsoft's MyEventViewer is an alternative to the MS Event Viewer. It takes some time to open and sort all events (~80 seconds to load 100,000 events on my PC), it eventually displays them all. It has sort and find capabilities, so it should save you from carpal tunnel issues.

Edit: developer's recommended tool is now FullEventLogView. From the website:

FullEventLogView vs MyEventViewer

MyEventViewer is a very old tool originally developed for Windows XP/2000/2003. Starting from Windows Vista, Microsoft created a new event log system with completely new programming interfaces. The old programming interface still works even on Windows 10, but it cannot access the new event logs added on Windows Vista and newer systems. MyEventViewer uses the old programming interface, so it cannot display many event logs added on Windows 10/8/7/Vista. FullEventLogView uses the new programming interface, so it displays all events.
