Audit failure 5061 after logging in to Windows 10

8

Logging in to Windows 10 Build 10547 I see for a split second a message box pop up.

There's no time to read it as the login succeeds.

In the event log I see:

Audit failure 5061 with a task category of System Integrity
The event directly previous is fetching a key from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\SystemKeys\

It says the key type is a user key.

Inside the 5061 Audit failure is the following information:

Cryptographic operation.

In windows 10, checking "delete browsing history on exit" in internet explorer 11 will generate this audit error.

Error is not generated in edge, firefox or chrome.
