    Audit Failure reports in Event Viewer


    Since the PC upgraded to Windows 10 version 1803 build 17134.191, the event log on start up repeatedly gives the three different audit failures below. I have managed to clear all the other problems the event log has displayed but with these three I am at a lost as to the cause and what areas to check along with any actions to take. Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction.

    Seems to be a common error. I get it every time on boot as well but the PC appears to be fully functioning. If yours is too, I would not worry about it. See these threads for additional info:

    Wow I know I'm a little late to this thread but glad I'm not the only one who was getting this.
