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.

Eye - OK - with many hiccups today, I set myself up with a good backup of my dual-booting machine and am ready to try to do what you suggest directly above (Audit failures every reboot - Event 5061 - Cryptographic operation.).

HOWEVER, before I do anything, my starting situation is different from yours.

In my existing Win 10 (which shows as "E:/" for the moment), the folder E:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA has two subfolders - S-1-5-18, which has 439 items (!!) - and MachineKeys, which has 33 items (!).

So my starting situation is different from yours.

Now, it gets worse. I have a Macrium Reflect image of my Win 10 from two years ago - what was the version before 1709? That version is explorable (and now appears as "P:/"), It's folder P:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 has only three items (!!). I have just copied those three items into the current E:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18 - they replaced three existing items with the same name.

I am NOT doing anything with the MachineKeys folder.

I will now reboot, come back here and let you know.

EDIT - NO LUCK. On reboot, I get the same three Audit Failures.

Given that you have a different situation and started with almost nothing in the current folder (where I started with 439 entries), I don't feel comfortable injecting your files into my arteries.

But still looking for a "fix".

Thanks for your interesting suggestion.

Humbird/ConiGL - still good with 1903?
