    Multiple Audit Failures for same Event ID


    (If this is not the correct sub-forum, can an Admin please move it? Thanks)

    For various reasons, I chose to have a look at various event logs on my PC (Win7/Firefox).

    Should I be concerned that I have, literally, thousands of identical "Audit Failure" events (EventID - 4656, Source - AlertSource) logged every day?

    The object in question is:

    Object Server: PlugPlayManager
    Object Type: Security
    Object Name: PlugPlaySecurityObject
    Handle ID: 0x0

    Process information:
    Process ID: 0x398
    Process Name: C:\Windows\System\svchost.exe

    Access Request Information:
    Accesses: Unknown specific accesses
    Access Reasons: -
    Access Mask: 0x2
    Privileges Used for Access Check: -
    Restricted SID Count: 0

    To understand a repeat error like that when Troubleshooting Windows 7 we google its identifiers and text, then read how others have resolved it. It seems negligible. Do you have performance issues?

    I have performance issues around speed and frequently losing wireless network connectivity.

    I did several google searches but all the responses I found related to admins trying to resolve issues on servers.

    I understand the nature of the alerts, to a degree, i.e. that it cannot find a description for the event but, beyond that, I am unsure of what is triggering the events, what the risk is (if there is risk) and what action I need to take to now.

    Start by Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7.

    Then flush dns.

    Continue with the fixes discussed when googling the error text and number.
