Cleaning up and tweaking my window 10 box I stumbled upon MessagingService_44867, and then a number of other services (whose descriptions were uncomfortably vague) with _44867 at the end and all of them are initialized through svchost.exe so I cant remove these random unexplained un requested files/spyware/bloatware/plain old BS.
Now, I was the first kid I knew to have a computer and have been in this game a while. So I am used to this absolutely rational concept which is now alien to modern thinking that *if you BUY something, it is YOURS. If it is yours, it is under YOUR control and you can delete the entire OS if you goddamn want to!* - so this era of enforced suspicious software makes me furious! If I pay for something no one has any right to control what I do. Like a hammer which only permits you to use it with a certain brand of nails would make people very angry but when applied to computing people lie down and accept it for some reason I will never, ever, understand.
But, my questions are:
Can I please be told what this is if anyone knows, and how to get rid of this junk as the only info I can find about it involves text messaging (from my laptop? not interested) and other bundled communications. But again- why is there a password for MY communications? Arg - please what is this? Can I make it go away?
I'm a data analyst and programmer with hardware knowledge so I don't need it simplified, but I do need to understand WHAT these are, DO I need them, if not - HOW to get rid of them, or contact the people who forced their spyware/bloatware on me.
Thanks guys, sorry for being so bellicose, it has been a frustrating morning trying to clear my compu of the plethora of commercial advertising / data mining / behaviour analysis tools which are so brazenly placed on our hard drives while everyone focuses on their hair in Fortnite while their IRL rights fade away...…..

But, my questions are:
- What the H*** is UnistackSvcGroup
- Why are these services appended with this mysterious number? UID for my computer?
- Why the H*** cant I stop or delete these should I, the owner, choose to?
- This one is really creepy to me- why do these have an unnamed account and a password unavailable to me. Does some person or entity have a backdoor into my computer? Why does it have a password, seriously, wtf?
