  • Nice discovery, indeed that is very suspicious, i wish Microsoft would have sorted out permissions for Windows..

    This would help notice things like that earlier

    I use this: https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/ gives me notifications whenever a process create/delete services, also has a nice CPU graph in the system tray, thanks to that i noticed Windows will eat your CPU/DISKs whenever you AFK, some telemetry/update thing running in the background.. even when you just idle watching a video.. inefficient telemetry software.. sweet.. what a time to be alive
