So recently I updated Windows 11 to its latest 22H2 Version. I noticed that in the properties section of my C Drive, also in the security tab there is a user named "Account Unknown(S-1-15-3-65536-1888954469-739942743-1668119174-2468466756-4239452838-1296943325-355587736-700089176)

Now, my question is, is this user is associated with current version of windows? Because if I want to delete it, warning dialog occurs. And if this is any other problem, then how can I solve this?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    I’ve been working on this for TWO YEARS. I kick them off. New incarnations come back on. Try Microsoft Fresh Start.

    Why do you call it "hidden" ?

    It is perfectly visible in the "properties" of C:\ drive on the tab "security" and it is even on the top of the users list.

    The request to send feedback about this unknown account was made by an operator named Napoleon from Microsoft support.

    Daniele, do you really think that we shall look for a issue on feedback hub using this poor directions?

    Please use “share” feature of feedback hub and provide us with direct link to the issue.

    It looks like you haven't read this thread from the beginning. If you look at my post on May 18, 2023, you see direct links to the three issues on feedback hub, all concerning “Account Unknown” problem. I already sent a feedback, why should I care about Napoleon? And what changed?

    And, please, stop copy-pasting your own posts. What makes you think I was unable to read your words first time?

    Unknown accounts are called "feature SIDs" and are there to provide permissions for applications.

    Wrong. “feature SIDs” are shown as Unknowns, but you can't say, either an Unknown is a “feature SID” or not, even if it looks like a “feature SID”. Even if it is a “feature SID”, you cant figure out what feature is it, where it came from, you cant figure out that you need a “feature” and cant control “feature”. That is a problem, not the “feature SIDs” by itself.

    True dat. Well, we are talking about the Crew That Brought You The Storm-0558 Azure Hack. I am having a hard time calling the GitHub robust models transfer dump a "hack" if a Microsoft employee left the door unlocked by inadvertently exposing a Shared Access Signature token on an internal storage account when he/she shared a URL for a Blob store containing an AI dataset. Was that share supposed to happen that way? Asking for my friend Bob.... https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/hack-of-a-microsoft-corporate-account-led-to-azure-breach-by-chinese-hackers/ https://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-internal-data-leak-azure/
