    Showing Account Unknown bunch of random numbers under Security Permission settings in clean...


    I was looking at the properties on one of my system drive where I just installed Windows 11. In the Security tab, it has an account called "Account Unknown then a lot of numbers". This has only happened one of three drives. Also, it's not a deleted account because I have only ever had one account. Note ALL drives were formatted prior to a clean install of Windows 11 Home on the night of the 27th of December 2024.

    I was looking at the properties on one of my music files I downloaded from my SoundCloud account and it in the Security tab it has two accounts called "Account Unknown (then a lot of numbers)" It has only happened to some of my files. Also, don't say it's
    a deleted account because I have only ever had one account.

    Similar here on a new Win 10 home machine using a MS account to log in, no other user has been added or removed, run anti virus & anti malware scans with various programs & all clean, run SFC etc but still have this random number/letter user account listed,
    I suspect a Windows update has added this.
