Hello,

I would like to know if someone has logged on my computer in my absence.

Does this mean that someone did at 14:45:28 ? (rfe. winlogon 7001 in the event agenda) ?

Many thanks for your help

    Hello ce737476, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

    I suggest you follow the steps down below.

    How to see who logged into Windows 10

    You must configure your windows audit login then, you can use the Event Viewer to see who signed into your computer and when it happened.

    -Open Start.

    -Search for Event Viewer, click the top result to launch the experience.

    -Browse the following path:

    -Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Security

    -Double-click the event with the 4624 ID number, which indicates a successful sign-in event.

    -On Windows 10 Pro, you can also double-click the event with the 4625 ID number to see unsuccessful attempts, or event ID 4634 to see when the user logged off.

    -In the event log, you'll find a lot of useful information, but you can simply look at the Logged section to figure out when the event took place, and within the "General" tab, look under New Logon to find out the account that was granted permission to your computer.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you and good luck,

    Regards- Irisdiel H.

    Many thanks for this useful and very clear answer !

    I am afraid that someone could have installed something min my computer to "spy" on me ans it is quite disturbing....

    I am really bad at IT ! But I was wondering if the screen shot below means that someone is accessing my computer (below ID 4798). If not how is it possible to identify if a spy has been installed on my private computer...

    Thank you very much
