There must be some app that will monitor exactly what is happening

How would that happen? You power up a machine and the BIOS has full control.
Then the BIOS hands the control over to the OS. No application can do
anything until the OS is loaded.

Say what interest do you have in what is happening anyway? Monitoring
processes and services will tell you (unless they exited early), but after
the fact.

Why don't you want to know what is going on?
If the processor is running then an application can run and log
whatever is happening. It just needs to be started.

The BIOS I am not interested in, it is when the BIOS starts anything
after it. i.e. what Windows is doing.
A time stamped log would tell me what I want to know.
