After you boot your Windows 11 system, you may see in Event Viewer the error message stating the LSA package is not signed as expected with Event ID 6155. If so, then you can apply the suggestions we have provided below to fix the error and stop it from being logged.

6. Uninstall recent Windows Update

Let’s see the suggestions in detail. Keep in mind that the error has no adverse effects on the system performance or overall user experience. Before you proceed with the solutions, make sure to check for updates and install any available bits on your Windows 11/10 device and see if the error is still logged.

1] Run System File Checker

Run System File Checker to replace potentially corrupt OS files and see if that helps.

2] Enable LSA Protection

This solution requires you to simply enable LSA protection via RFegistry Editor or Local Group Policy Editor on your Windows 11/10 device again without getting the warning.

3] Disable Credential Guard

You can easily disable Credential Guard and see if that stops the warning from being logged in Event Viewer.

4] Troubleshoot in the Clean Boot state

A “clean boot” launches Windows with the bare minimum of startup applications and drivers. Isolating the root of an issue and determining whether a background program is interfering with your game or program are both helpful.

5] Perform System Restore

To perform System Restore, do the following:

• Press Windows key + R. to invoke the Run dialog.
• In the Run dialog box, type rstrui and hit Enter to launch the System Restore Wizard.
• At the initial screen of System Restore, click Next.
• At the next screen, check the box associated with Show more restore points.
• Now, select a restore point before when you noticed the issue on your device.
• Click Next to advance to the next menu.
• Click Finish and confirm at the final prompt.
