Hi EveryOne

I would like to see who logged on to my computer.

I took a look in Event Viewer, but the field of account name is empty.

How can I find who logged on to my computer?

Thanks

Michael

    Hello Michael,

    To check the login history, you need to enable the audit log first for logon action:

    1.Press "Win+R" and run "gpedit.msc" and navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Audit Policy -> Audit logon events.

    2.Right click and open property, check both Success and Failure for Audit these attempts.

    3.Then it will be logged if there's any logon action. You can find the log under Event viewer -> Windows Logs -> Security.

    However, logon action before enabling audit log will not be tracked.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
