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

    Not sure if this is a common denominator for y’all as well but edge seems to be downloading everything and it’s all coming back as corrupt even after trying a repair/reset. And dism i actually believe is corrupting the files when I try to use it to fix things. I haven’t had a working pc since I built it back in February :/ definitely feel that someone in the lay offs or someone threw in some kind of exploit/ something. Even my event viewer after a brand new install ramps up to like 24k events in the security area within a short time.

    You know, it might be a good idea to consider using a more appropriate name like "Microsoft Secure Account." I mean, it does seem a bit strange that the icon itself has a question mark. Without any clear explanation, it could easily be mistaken for a suspicious account. It's always better to provide some clarity and avoid any unnecessary doubts or concerns, don't you think?

    Certainly! But MS is not conscious of this, because that is they who adds these sids and they know what each particular sid means.

    MS insists that any change request must be submitted via Feedback Hub: “developers do not read forums”.

    So, you may find useful to create a ticket for this on Feedback Hub or, maybe, upvote tickets I have created (see my post on 18 May 2023).

    Stop thinking it's an exploit. It's not! It's Microsoft not fixing their mistakes!
