Windows 10: Event 5061 - Cryptographic Operation. Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.2134 WFEP 1000.22659.100.0

Above is a Screen Shot of the Event ID 5061 and my System Info. Occurs on every reboot. LSASS I'm aware there is another post about this, however, it has been closed and there was never a real resolution from what I could see other than they were on build 1803 and went to 1903 to resolve it. I am not on those builds.

:)

 

Audit failures every reboot - Event 5061 - Cryptographic operation.

fdegrove - sorry, no luck. Disabled all three, rebooted and got again two Audit Failures.
(By the way, my plain old Dell Optiplex PC never had a smart card reader as far as I know.)
But that was a great idea.
Did you see my third post in this thread, at Audit failures every reboot - Event 5061 - Cryptographic operation. ?

EDIT - Am I missing a Certificate with the name "Microsoft Connected Devices Platform"? That's indicated as "Key name" in the eventvwr data.

 

Audit failures every reboot - Event 5061 - Cryptographic operation.

Just FYI, anything associated with the S-1-5-18 SID is associated with the "Local System" account. It represents working objects the the OS creates and uses as it engages in normal operations. Here's a snip from that ever-so-fascinating MS Support document Well-known security identifiers in Windows operating systems





HTH,

Audit failures every reboot - Event 5061 - Cryptographic operation. Win 10 Pro 64-bit version 1803. ‎4/‎28/‎2019

Immediately after every reboot of Win 10 Pro 64-bit version 1803, in Event Viewer, there are between two and four Audit Failures for something related to Cryptography. So my Win 10 machine is insecure? I have run sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth many times, with no luck. And I hardly even use my Win 10 machine - there are almost no apps on it yet. My actual Win 10 build is 17134.706

Here are the latest five Cryptography-related Audit Failures, from two reboots:

So, what the *** are these, and how do we fix? No guesses - just the real fix.

Thanks.
