Could a virus be trying to access my camera?

Hey everyone! I woke my Surface up from standby earlier, and something weird happened. After I logged in, the screen turned black for a moment, and a strange pop-up appeared briefly before disappearing. Not knowing much about tech, I asked ChatGPT for some help, and it suggested checking the Windows Event Viewer. I did that using **Windows key + R**, typed in **eventvwr.msc**, and looked under **Windows Logs → System**. I found a bunch of entries labeled **"Camera."** Is that something to be concerned about? I wish I could share a screenshot here—I'll try to add one in a comment instead!
