While playing a CS:GO game, my screen turned blue and warned me about someone trying to access my computer remotely. In the heat of the match, I assumed an app needed permission and clicked accept, only to see what I had done. My PC shut off immediately because it wasn’t responding. The attacker used a Windows username similar to Windows UAC, which is closely related to User Access Control. However, searching for "windowUAC" didn’t return any information. When I turned my PC back on this morning, three new accounts appeared—sub, admins, and windowsuac—each with administrator privileges. I removed them right away since I never created those accounts. This situation suggests Windows might be acting unexpectedly or there could be something suspicious on the system.
That is also a very good idea and then on another device or the fresh install start making new passwords on all your accounts.
