Windows 10: What are the security risks of leaked GUIDs from Windows TerminalPreview settingsJSON...

I was configuring Windows TerminalPreview JSON file, but I encountered an error in JSON formatting So I posted it on online JSON validator. After that I realized that It contained some GUID's from Powershell, cmd, bash, Azure cloud shell.

After some research I found that GUIDs are unique to every person in the world and it is just a unique identifier. So can any sensitive information can be extracted from leaked GUID? I also tried to regenerate GUIDs in powershell and replaced all old GUIDs with new one but everytime I restart the Windows TerminalPreview app it just automatically regenerate same old GUIDs. So what is the solution now?

PS: My main concern here is just Security and Privacy


Sample config. file from random internet sourceSee the GUIDs

Is windsows 7 a security risk?

There is 2 security risks. No one can stop security holes even more so with MS software as it would be more targeted although Linux has got to be going up on that list to now.
