I am continuously getting Audit Failure on the computer. Does that mean someone is trying to brute force to the computer?

I am getting lots of Audit Failure errors on Windows Logs/Security in event viewer. See the image below. Does that mean someone is trying to brute-force to my computer?

It could mean anything. Why don't you read the event log entries and see what it's actually about? - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-4625

Event ID 4624 is associated with logon events. Multiple instances of this entry is due to Event Viewer recording every logon event (whether from the local user account or system services such as Windows Security) with the same event ID which is 4624

To identify the source of login, right-click on the event record and select Properties.

In the General tab, scroll down and locate the Logon Information Section. Here, the Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that occurred. For example, Logon Type 5 indicates a service-based login, while Logon Type 2 indicates user-based login.

More Information - 4625(F): An account failed to log on

Thank you for the answer. In my case, the logon type is 3 (Network).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
