Changed the ownership of C:\windows on 2016 server from trustedinstaller to administrator and changed back

Hi Everyone,

Please help me with the following concern.

On my 2016 server i changed the ownership of C:\windows from Trustedinstaller to local administrator. I had also unknowingly selected the option to apply it to sub folders and files. Noticed it had changed ownnership on all the subfolders in C:\windows
to Administrator.

Post this i changed ownership back to Trustedinstaller, and no permissions were changed.

Now i see all folders in C:\windows , owner as Trustedinstaller. On another 2016 server i found that some subfolders have the ownership set to system in C:\windows.

Will the existing ownership of C:\windows and its subfolders to trustedinstaller cause any problem? If yes how do i reset the ownerships to defaults. There we no permissions changes done.

Thanks,
