In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to check if your computer has been hacked by a backdoor user account in Windows 11.
*To get started:*
1. Go into your Windows start bar, and type in “Users” and click on the “Other users” search result.
2. The other users settings dialog window will now open up, and from here, you’ll be able to see all user accounts on your computer, excluding the one you’re logged in with.
3. As you can see, I only have 2 user accounts on my computer, the one I’m logged in with, and the one displayed on the screen called “Test Account”.
4. Now to verify if there’s any secret backdoor accounts on your computer, go into the Windows start bar, and type in “Computer Management” and click on the “Computer Management” search result.
5. From this dialog window, double click on the “Local users and groups” item from the left hand side, and then click on the “Users” folder.
6. Please note, if you’re using the Home Edition of Windows, you won’t be able to access the local users and groups folder. Instead, you’ll want to go into Command Prompt, and type in “Net user”, hit enter, and you’ll be able to see a list of all user accounts, including hidden ones.
7. Now you’ll be able to see all hidden and visible user accounts on your computer.
8. By default in Windows, there are some hidden accounts that are created by the operating system, but these are normal and can be ignored.
9. But if you look closer, you can see on my computer that there is a “Hacker Account” on this list of users, but it’s not visible on the users screen.
10. Since this is a tutorial, I created this account ahead of time, so there’s nothing to be alarmed about. But if you do find a suspicious account that isn’t a default Windows account, then right click on it, and delete it.
11. I also recommend backing up your computer’s data and files, and then resetting your computer to ensure no one has access to your computer that shouldn’t have.
And it’s as easy as that, checking your PC for hacked backdoor accounts in Windows 11 is a fairly simple task to perform.
