Windows 10: trustedinstaller virus?

I've seen on different websites that this isn't a virus and on other websites that it is.

Is it possible that the 2 on the left is a virus and the one on the right the real one?

The ones on the left have permission for everythingSYSTEM and Admin

The one on the right doesn't. And it has copyright to Microsoft. Left ones don't.

Restore WindowsApps permissionss to TrustedInstaller

Initially I got the same error that said “NTService\TrustedInstaller is not from a domain listed in the Select Location dialog box, and is therefore not valid.”

My problem was the lack of a space in "NT Service\TrustedInstaller."

I got this solution from a post by Sergey Tkachenko at Restore the TrustedInstaller ownership in Windows 10

Hi Ron,


To help resolve your concern, you have to first take ownership of the files or folders and then grant yourself full
control permissions and rights. To do so, follow the steps on this link:

• 
  Open
  File Explorer
  and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.
  
• 
  Right-click the file or folder, click
  Properties and then select
  Security
  tab.
  
• 
  Click the
  Advanced
  button and the
  Advanced Security Settings
  window will appear. You need to change the Owner of the key. Click the
  Change link
  next to the "Owner:" label
  
  
• 
  The
  Select User or Group window will appear. Type "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"
  as the new owner name.
  
• 
  Click
  OK to change the ownership and you are done.
  

Let us know how it goes.
