NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller is missing

TrustedInstaller is missing when i try to give TrustedInstaller back the ownership of WindowsApps Folder in program files.

What I did:

1. I gave myself the ownership of WindowsApps folder in program files through its advanced security settings.

2. Then after I had done what I wanted to do (copy a folder of an application) I tried giving TrustedInstaller back its ownership.3

3. But windows said "An object with the following name cannot be found "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller". Check the selected object types and locations for accuracy and ensure that you have typed the object's name correctly, or remove this object from the
selection.

4. So what I did is I removed TrustedInstaller from the permissions entries group and it removed it but a new Principal appeared namely - S-1-15-3-1024-3635283841-2530182609-996808640-1887759898-3848208603-3313616867-983405619-2501854204.f

5. I tried doing step 2 again but it still didn't work.

6. In the end, I tried to look if I had unknowningly removed TrustedInstaller. For this, I went over to System32 and
viewed it's advanced security settings. TrustedInstaller was the Owner.

My Question :

Why is windows saying it is TrustedInstaller is missing when System32 has the owner TrustedInstaller?

How do I make TrustedInstaller the owner of WindowsApps again?

My Windows :

Windows 10 (Creator Update)

Hi John,

Based on the initial post that you made, what you did was to give full permission to trustedinstaller. You need to change it to the admin of the computer (LAPTOP-E1UE8UMG\Administrators) instead as outlined on the last link you provided. If you are still
having issues after changing the permission to the admin, I suggest that you post your issue in the
TechNet Forums instead. The members there include
IT professionals that can provide a more advanced recommendation on the next step to resolve your issue.

Regards.
