Cryptic username in taskmanager spawning VMMEM and VMWP instance
Nothing running in the background that is user based installation warrants the running of these 3 processes which seem to have a automatically generated username which does not exist in the user database similar to SYSTEM or DWM-1 which now seems to be a seperate user created to manage desktopwindowmanager.
I can end VMWP and one of the VMMEM processes. But the last VMMEM process will deny access.
I am concerned about security here, but i cant find any obvious problems on the system.
I have hence stopped the HYPER V Server Service which also stops the 2 dependant container services and that seems to remove the dubious processes. The question remains why they are created in the first place when only the server service is running but dormant and no virtual machines have been ever created.
