Question

Issue: How to fix "LSA package is not signed as expected" event after updating to Windows 22H2?

Hello. I upgraded my computer to Windows 11 Pro 22H2 and now every time I reboot there are several errors “LSA package is not signed as expected.” How do I fix these errors?

Solved Answer

Local Security Authority (LSA)[1] is a Microsoft Windows-protected subsystem that is part of the Windows Client Authentication Architecture which authenticates and creates a logon Session to the Local Computer. In addition, LSA maintains information about all aspects of local security on a computer (these aspects are collectively known as the local security policy).

Recently, some users started experiencing multiple “LSA package is not signed as expected” events after updating to Windows 22H2. This seems to be a bug caused by Microsoft. It is unknown if they have released a fix, but you should still try updating your system to see if it fixes the issue.

If that does not work, you may have to enable LSA protection using the Registry Editor or disable Credential Guard.[2] It is a virtualization-based isolation technology for LSASS which prevents attackers from stealing credentials that could be used for passing the hash attacks. Of course, disabling it could put your system in danger, but it should get rid of the “LSA package is not signed as expected” error.
