I recently discovered I had a hidden account with a 2min timer on my laptop which I had no username or password for. I tried using the admin to access it that why but it doesn’t show up under User Accounts or under lusrmgr.msc prompt. Should I be worried about this disappearing account?
Forgot to mention it’s a disappearing Administrator account.
