In case you're looking for more detailed information about virtual machine startup, state transitions and errors you can +look into serial console logs created by virtual machine hypervisors. Here are the locations where you can find these logs: + - **libvirt**: In case of https://libvirt.org/kbase/debuglogs.html[libvirt], you can find the log file in `/var/log/libvirt/qemu/crc.log` + - **vfkit**: In case of https://github.com/crc-org/vfkit[vfkit], you can find log file in `~/.crc/vfkit.log` + - **hyper-v**: In case of Hyper-V, there are several options to get logs: + * **Event Logs for Hyper-V**: Go to start and open `Event Viewer`, then navigate to `Applications and Services Logs` → `Microsoft` → `Windows`. Here you should be able to find some options for `Hyper-V`, + click on `Hyper-V-VMMS` for Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management logs and `Hyper-V-Worker` for Hyper-V Worker logs. + * **VM Configuration Logs**: Each VM has a set of logs that can be found in the VM configuration folder. By default, this is located in the `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V` folder.
