    Help figuring out event log, maybe malicious?


    So, bit of a strange post but I had some very important work left rendering over a few days at work on my personal issue laptop when I wasn't in.

    I mean this work it very very important, I left a sign on it saying it was in use, I came back into work and my computer was powered off. Wall plug etc everything was still turned on.

    I've checked event manager and I have an error log (event id 6008) and critical log (event id 41. Task category 63) source is kernel power.

    The error log says "the previous system shutdown at '*TIME OF THE SHUTDOWN on *Date of shutdown * was unexpected.

    I've taken out the times and dates, this time coincides with a colleague 10mins before logging off work to go home on the friday (only him at work). This colleague is very difficult to work with and likes to cause issues/bully various staff. I'm suspicious but not sure if it is him. I just want to see what these logs relate to.

    I have made a test this morning and held the power button down and these exact logs are replicated.

    Could these logs relate to anything else? To make me not so suspicious.

    Many thanks for any help.

    How is Event Online Help supposed to work?

    There are many errors in the Event Viewer. When I click "Event Log Online Help" a window opens asking if it is OK to send information across the internet. When I click Yes, a Technet page shows a series of issues that are not related to the event log issue.


    Is it really supposed to work this way?? If so, how does it help me? If not, how can it be fixed? Is there not a listing somewhere of the Event IDs and suggested resolutions?

    Thank you.

    Events 4672 & 4624 Win 10 Freezes - special LOGON ?

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. Are you on a domain network?
    2. May I know the make and the model number of your system?

    The event logs you have provided seems to be the security logs that is generated when you login to your system. For more information on the event that was generated, you can check
    4672(S): Special privileges assigned to new logon.

    The Windows error logs will be located at Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System.

    Please follow the step below and check if it works for you.

    Step: Improve Windows 10 Performance.

    Try some of the following suggestions to help
    make your Windows 10 PC run better
    . The steps are listed in order, so start with the first one, see if that fixes the problem, and then continue to the next one if it doesn’t.

    Note: The last step on the article contains Windows Reset, I suggest you not to perform Windows reset, as there is a change your data and applications will be wiped and also
    the OS will reverted back to previous version you upgraded from.

    Hope it helps.
