Windows 10: Can someone explain this error message in laymens terms?

I'm getting this message in the Event Viewer log constantly. In addition, my Win 11 PC periodically freezes up requiring a re-boot.I'm wondering if this red error message is the cause. Can you explain what this means in simple lay terms?

It represents the MAC address of the failed interface or the Globally Unique Interface Identifier (GUID) if NetBT was unable to map from GUID to MAC address.
