I took a picture of my msconfig and I noticed that in a day the numbers behind these 8 services changed
they were
DevicePicker_
DevicesFlow_
MessaginService_
Sync Host_
Contact data_
PrintWorkflow_
User data storage_
user data access_
they all had the same number and letter combination and then when I checked this morning they all had the same number and letter combination but it was different from last night

Hi Matthew,
I have checked here on my end the issue that you have brought up. The random data strings attached to system services were changed as well after rebooting. It's safe to say that this is working as intended and shadow copies of your services is a security design to prevent unauthorized applications/malware from accessing these services.
If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
