Event ID 5061

Alright so both today and on June 23 I had gotten these audit failures that go like this.

Thing is that I don't believe these are related to my older posts about Netflix and Hulu since I have uninstalled them from my computer. Any ideas? Should I be worried?

Haleluja!!!! I am not the only one! The weird thing is, in my case it also started last week. A 'one shot', never happened again. I even went so far to restore an image and another image of a month ago. Same error. Indeed it does remind me of NVIDIA driver-s*** too. HOWEVER, in this particular pc is no NVIDIA card anymore. It broke down about a year ago and since I am not really a gamer anyway I just use the CPU-GPU since then. Of course I uninstalled the NVIDIA-driver. Completely, as far as I know. Never saw this event id since I removed the card until this week.

I was just about to post my question here too. Actually, what I like to know is: what does such an 'audit fail' in plain English actually MEAN? Is it something disastrous, or just a little nothing? If it would be repetitive AND it would have a clear subscription, I would know what is going on. But not like this.


greetings!

According to this: Event Viewer -- Audit Failure 5061 - Windows 10 Forums
It says that it's your Nvidia card. Uninstall it. Download the Nvidia drivers from the company's website and install it. See if that fixes it.

I'am using the official Nvidia drivers though. But a few months back Microsoft did forceful install their Nvidia Driver on my computer, But I have since installed newer drivers. Each driver Install I do, I usually clean install it.
