Have you ever wanted to monitor who’s logging into your computer and when? On Professional editions of Windows, you can enable logon auditing to have Windows track which user accounts log in and when.
Step 1. First of all, type “gpedit.msc” in the start menu and hit enter.
Step 2. Now browse to the following folder: Local Computer Policy –> Computer Configuration –> Windows Settings –> Security Settings –> Local Policies –> Audit Policy.
Step 3. Now you need to double click on Audit Logon event and then check “Success” and “Failure” and click on OK.
Step 4. Now you need to type “Event Viewer” on the start menu and hit enter.
Step 5. Now navigate to: Windows logs –> Security.
Step 6. Now you need to look for the events with event ID 4624 (4624 represent successful login events)
Step 7. You can double click on the events to know the time and some extra details about the login.
That’s it! you are done.
This is the easiest way to track all the login attempts in your Windows computer.
