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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
By labelling users this way (or rather "unlabelling" them), Microsoft is normalizing the viewing of information that should make us suspicious, increasing the likelihood of ignoring a real threat in the future. Cybersecurity threats will never be taken truly seriously until someone manages to hack and remotely ignite the launching of a nuclear bomb.
unnamed. Any better?
I am sorry if I was misunderstood - I thought that in your case the mentioned unknown account was also hidden in some way, I just wanted to know if this is perhaps actively controlled by some unknown (pun not intended) entity, because it would be very bad news. I am glad that it's you just blundered? No offence intended.
unnamed. Any better?
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.
