How to clear Reliability History or Logs report details under the Maintenance section of the Action Center?
The Reliability Monitor shows a timeline of software and hardware changes, application failures, and shutdown problems. The Windows 7 version collects the data using WMI (Windows Management Interface) and this explains why there is no executable such as resmon. WMI also enables you to collect reliability data using Windows PowerShell scripts.
