Audit Security State Change

Applies to

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 10 Mobile

This topic for the IT professional describes the Advanced Security Audit policy setting, Audit Security State Change, which determines whether Windows generates audit events for changes in the security state of a system.

Changes in the security state of the operating system include:

  • System startup and shutdown.

  • Change of system time.

  • System recovery from CrashOnAuditFail. This event is logged after a system reboots following CrashOnAuditFail.

    Important:  Some auditable activity may not be recorded when a system restarts due to CrashOnAuditFail.   System startup and shutdown events are important for understanding system usage.

Event volume: Low

Default: Success
