How to fix security audit failure 5061 occasionally freezing windows?

For the past week or so I've been noticing my computer oddly stuttering under specifically discord and online gaming in general. More offline games don't seem to be an issue, and even normal web browsing seems fine oddly enough. At first I thought it might have been a graphics driver issue or the internet, but after rolling back the graphics drivers, trying the latest drivers, updating windows, and checking the internet through another pc in the home I determined it must have been something else. After much deliberation, I turned to the event viewer and noticed that every time there was a hiccup in a discord stream, there would be 2 audit failures with the event id of 5061 in rapid fire, sometimes repeating in an alternating pattern twice in a row. Again, this mainly happens whenever I'm in a discord stream or playing online games, freezing pc and audio in that application for a few seconds at a time. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache of these applications, and I'm starting to run out of ideas. Below I'll add the xml view of the failures. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Event 1: Subject:

    Nevermind, turned out it was a much deeper issue of my boot declining towards failure. Thankfully I managed to see the warning signs of my hdd making strange noises and more freezes and transferred over to a new nvme.
