I. Have the same issue. My win 11 pro went to install the 23H2 for X64 systems and it will download and install up to 96% then I get a blue screen with a bunch of "frownie" faces along the top of that blue screen that lasts for about 10 seconds. It then goes to a screen that says " encountered a problem,no changes were made" then reboots back to what appears to be normal. Ran 2 different Malware and Anti-virus programs and the found nothing., ran the command prompt that looks at file integrity (can't remember what that was) ran a skndsk i believe that one is called and both found nothing. Look in my C drive properties in the security tab and BAM! there it is this account unknown that we are all talking about. I had my laptop built late last year and no problems until I upgrated to Win 11 pro from win 11.

I see 50% of the people say no big deal and the other 50% are saying holy sh*t this is bad. Im not computer illiterate but I'm not expert either all I know is a blue screen flasing with frownie faces flashing on your screen can't be a good sigh. Hopefully microsoft will send a fix.

Dang duder!. . . That is a hard hit. I don't do crypto anymore, but I empathize deeply. If I may ask, what processes/operations/folders/user accounts/services did you discovered those "Hacker" issues? (And please only offer any answers that you can, no pressure to provide all that, just covering my bases)

I had some wicked and legitimate issues last summer and kicked out some one or some group who was exploiting remote services and some other MS Windows 11 weak points to create, copy, and export files and hidden user accounts were made. I obviously went nuclear on my PC, but not before gathering a few log files and took some screenshots. I haven't looked too much into them since around X-mas of last year, but I haven't had any of the same problems since, after I did HOURS of research and detective work from scratch.

I hope you are well, and look forward to any insight you might share CH0MPA. Also, I extend an open invitation for anyone else to comment here and connect about similar issues. I spared many details about my experience from being hacked, but I can say it may have had connections to the partner I was in an LDR for 3 years with and also Facebook....... I am generally savvy in the Windows space as I am still a growing professional in IT, but what happened to me was so sneaky, I can't be ashamed of not catching it, just in awe that things like that can happen. Why??? Because Microsoft Windows is Clearly exploitable.

same i can move folder and files though bookmarked folders but i can dragand drop folder to like desktop/(insert folder name/file root/filename.txt) for a file to like desktop/(insert folder name/filename.txt) but i can send this file to desktop by bookmark perfectly and when i don't know if the admin unknown takes care if this sort of stuff but yeah in earlier builds i could easily do that and but now i can't do that but i can literally disable the windows search service (I think its called) and i can do it perfectly fine after but when i reboot or shutdown it always lead to the same bs like i'm talking about now

Hi Imran,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Windows creates hidden security accounts in the background of the operating system, they all begin with S-1-15-XXXX, all Windows systems have those accounts, they are used for administrative tasks like Windows Security, installing updates, file management...etc. those accounts are normal and rest assured you have nothing to worry about, you should never try to remove those hidden accounts.

I removed that account from my laptop, how can I get it back? would updating solve this issue?

****, it is a systematic error People!! read further in the comments with others really explaining it!! Microsoft is on to some shady ****.
