    I give up, what is it - and what's a "security ownership panel?"

    FYI...

  3. How did UID get into my User's property/security list?

    If I right click a file or folder in `C:\Users\[my user]` and select Security tab, then under Group or user names I find:

    • SYSTEM
    • S-1-5-21-2111192990-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx
    • Administrators ([machine]\Administrators)

    In another post
    unknown user account named "s-1-5-21-3872869465-169670-6742-130931603-1001"


    This is described by a use as: "The number you mention is called a "SID" (Security IDentifier). Each account has a SID. In the access permission list it becomes visible after you delete the account it is tied to."

    How does this appear?

    Is this my logged in User account?

    Other than a few basic apps, I use this computer mostly to remote to work:

    - Logmein

    Then I have a few Python development related apps:

    - Anaconda/Miniconda

    - WSL/Debian

    - Apache
