I think my Microsoft account has been hacked

[rgtr]

TL;DR Summary

I think my Microsoft account has been hacked because a new user has appeared. What do I do? Also when trying to login it said "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again. " I got it working by turning on the wifi and resetting the pc a few times.

defaultuser100000 is not mine under C:\Users
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Google is your friend.

"Short story: It's meaningless. You can delete the folder. No harm will result now or in the future. It's not an actual user account. It's a leftover from installing Windows ... means nothing."

"The defaultuser100000 folder is created when you click "I forgot my password" or "I forgot my PIN" in the lock screen. It creates a temporary user to let you access password recovery options."

Thanks for the help. "What about Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again. "? The message eventually disappeared.

Trying to figure out why some anomaly happened in Windows is an exercise in futility that can can only lead to tears and heartbreak.

If it corrected itself, count yourself lucky and don't lose sleep over it. But YMMV.
