Windows Security Log Event ID 4658
4658: The handle to an object was closed
On this page
This event is logged by multiple subcategories as indicated above.
(it appears that two subcategories must be enabled, Handle Manipulation and one other such as File System or Registry depending on what type of object you are auditing.)
After successfully opening an object, a program eventually closes it which is documented by this event. 4658 helps you determine how long the object was open. For this event to be useful you must link it back to the earlier event ID 4656 with the same handle ID.
