Windows 10: Security Breach? Detected odd activity using JLospinoso Beamgun and Event Viewer, Possibly...

Hi,I'm fairly new to modern security applications, I am using Beamgun to detect when a malicious USB is inserted into my laptop I have had recent reasons to worry about security breaches and hackers. Beamgun detected some activity on my computer at 9:27AM while I was asleep. I sleep from about 8:30AM to 5:30PM. So I checked my event logs and continued to find odd activity. Can anyone help me make sense of what this means? Am I hacked?Warning 7/2/2023 4:59:21 PM USB-USBHUB3 196 Surprise Removal -USB device draining system power when system is idle.

Event viewer

I suggest you re-install the video driver.

I'll add a few words of explanation about Event viewer in a moment. They won't affect the need to reinstall that driver as your first step.

Event Viewer - Remote repair service possible?

I've been receiving telephone calls from people with Indian accents, claiming to be from the "Windows department." They instructed me to run Event Viewer, which I wasn't familiar with, and they indicated that the 3,000 or so events listed could be problematic
and offered to "fix" them over the phone by getting access to my computer, for a fee. I declined, but I wonder if anyone here could verify the legitimacy of these people and confirm that it would indeed be possible to fix any problems detected by Event Viewer
over the phone. Thanks.
