OK, I'm running Windows 11 Home edition. I was running a tweaked version, but I recently performed a system restore. Since the restore, the only tweak I made was to deactivate Defender. I'm logged in, and under settings my profile shows as normal. Now, I went to take ownership of my Asus Vivobook by opening 'properties' of C:/ drive, clicking the 'Security' tab, and then 'Advanced.' Under Advanced Security Settings my Account shows as 'Account Unknown(Big String of Numbers).' I went ahead and gave myself full permissions anyway, and now my WiFi on the laptop has been shutdown. I'm connected, but there's no internet. Wifi works fine on every other device, so it's safe to assume this is a PC malfunction. I'm also assuming the WiFi was shut down after I gave my unknown account full write permissions, and so the main issue is the 'Account Unknown.' Is there a way to fix this without a complete format with reinstall?

Windows creates hidden security accounts (starting with S-1-15-XXXX) which run in the OS background. These accounts are used for administrative tasks like Windows Security, installing updates, file management...etc. These are normal accounts and leave them as they are.
Not helpful, considering I'm trying to install packages directly to C:/ drive from the command line. I require full permissions. I require administrative rights. As I paid for this property I will figure out how. One way or another.

This answer is informative since "S-1-15-XXXX" accounts are not identified in "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/well-known-sids". After an hour or so, with ChatGPT4's help I am persuaded that my "S-1-15-XXXX" is harmless - I hope. I suggest Microsoft document the meaning and use of "S-1-15-XXXXs" somewhere.

I've had similar issues in the past. I was trying to configure my computer like I wanted it to be. After paying 200$ for windows, I though I could do what I want. Microsoft said that I had paid only to use their system like you rent a car and that I had no say even if it's my computer. They said I had to stop gaining more control or they would suspend my license. That's when decided to learn Linux.
