Hi guys, I have a few questions. I left my computer in sleep mode (I have password protected account), and I live with crazy roommates. I left it like that on 1.9. during the night.

On 2.9 during whole day I was away, left my computer in my room.

I began suspecting that they have invaded my laptop during that day due to one thing. So I checked event viewer, security log. I talked with friend of mine, he told me to look for event ID 4648, that one shows whether someone has logged in into your computer using password credentials,I have found out that nobody during that time. I am still not calm though.

I checked other security logs that happened during that day, since the moment I put my computer in sleep mode, there have been processes running in the background, at night at 2:30 I had mix of 4624+4672, and since then, there have been always 4 system ingegrity event ids 5062 exchanging with 1x logon 4624, and 1x special logon 4672, every couple hours till the moment I came home in the evening and logged in.

So, question is:

1. If I have password protected computer, does that mean that it will require password each and every time, no exceptions, when someone opens computer and recovers it from sleep mode?

2. Is it possible for 4624 and 4672 event ids in Security log, at the moment they happen,and perhaps a few seconds/minutes later, since they mean Log on and Special log on to "break" the log in screen, and if someone opened my laptop at that moment to be actually logged in? Without need to put in the password?

3. At one suspicious time I had also in Application log event id: 1005. - Customer Experience Improvement Program. What does it mean and does this event happen only when computer is logged in for real, or is it some background process that happened during sleep mode?

Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

Your description is inadequate to know if anyone has accessed the computer.

If you set it to lock at sleep then you will need a password. If you didn't set it to lock at sleep, it might not need a password. Simply press Win+L before you leave and then put it to sleep if you want to be 100% sure.

The best thing you can do is to make sure everything is physically locked and find your own personal apartment as soon as possible. You should not be living with people you cannot trust not to abuse your trust and personal belongings


No, this is something completely different.
There is no need for reformating, and talking to my roommaets (we live in a flat, we are not from school) would not solve aything, they would not admit it if they tried to get into my computer secretely.

But I wish to ask about those 3 questions please, can you tell me from my description if anyone has managed to get into my computer from my roommates or not? Thanks
