Its nothimg new its Security app , has rasied the level , thorugh update or the way things need on white list.

and now people get caught in what the hell is going on, and no matter if im rtight or not and this is a falsh warning , it still your problem to make rule or know whats right action on it.

and im sorry for writing this that way, but what if you are effect and all here says go ahead no problem here and there is a problem.

and it look like a require rights or blocking by security. its look like legit app need allow or missing the right to take access. i cant say the about the first 2 .exe but last one look like steam

so whatever security app you have that handle firewall and antivirus is the cause or telly you they has issue with content.

this is the reason why n many post i told ppl learnuse windows event viewer , so that day it do popup , you know its windows system that complain over something.

its a log app , and i dontsay you should know the log entry , its just you need to know the event viewer app. ( not that fist time that log something, i cold google and get solution from )

I only use the classic win defender
and every this event has Steam Client Service in name

try add steam.exe to exception rule , maybe that will help you. ( i bet you have steam installed and why you write here ) do reboot pc or steam to see if that will fix it.

well i bet you will atleast browser around that event log , so its not that scray anymore, learn to google it . see how to use windows event video on tube. ( you will be alot better next time a random app give issue ) if log can give a clue.

tip make dxdiag.txt.

see end of file , then you notice same crash in a mini log as windows event log did it.
and thats why game devs use it to see issue.

I did not grant an exception because it is granted, but after restarting the steam client and pc, the events did not appear

see very strange , look like a hickup, and reboot fix itself. ( you need other user help here , it could be a update issue not sure what happend here. )

Are you sure those are something to worry about in the first place? It may just as well be that someone forgot to set an event type from "warning" to something more sensible.

i just got a steam client update , maybe you also got it, i did not get the msg but it look just like that.

[RoyalSamCZ]

I'm not sure if I should be worried but it happened first time

yeah steam just update , and i bet somehow your system did not like it. and told you about it.
but i did also say no matter if all he say go ahead its not a 100% sure thing , we dont know if you are infected by virus or malware, but we dont think so.

Then don't worry. Here's what I think went down:
1. there's a framework within Steam to write to the event log
2. since this is used for extraordinary situations, the event type was hardcoded to warning
3. later, somebody decided to use that framework for a couple other events as well
4. since the event log is something for IT pros, not end users, nobody bothered to extend it to include other event types

Unless there's an acutal problem, don't worry. The event log is a diagnostic tool. Those are designed specifically with problems in mind.

it probably happened during the update but I always have updates so fast that I will never even notice it so maybe it's just some fake announcements

I wouldn't say they're fake. Afterall, what would be the point? The text describes what has been done. It's safe to assume that's indeed what happened.

I mean, it's safe and nothing happens, not like a serious error, for example
